This book offers a unique exploration of the work of Paul Bowles and Ibrahim Alkoni, and reveals timely insights into the relationship between the West and the Orient, showing that they both challenge and extend existing scholarship on this subject. It builds on a sound theoretical platform which serves as a solid foundation for the analysis of the overarching theme. Theories of place, representation, Orientalism and post-colonialism are discussed in depth and are linked to the deconstruction and analysis of the selected literary texts, helping the reader understand the various quests and motivations of the protagonists of the works of Bowles and Alkoni. The first part of the book looks into the work of Bowles, and is based on the fact that many of the author’s texts revolve around the theme of encounters between Western and Eastern cultures. It adopts a specific focus on the North African space, which is depicted from a number of different points of view, including native, French, English and American perspectives. The second section discusses the work of the Libyan author Ibrahim Alkoni as a quester for a Mythical Identity. It introduces the reader to the significance of the desert in both classical and modern Arabic literature and its place in the Arabic cultural imaginary. This work is highly original both in its approach and subject matter, and, as such, it constitutes a valuable contribution to the study of comparative literature, Arabic literature, and postcolonial magical realist literature. It offers many original insights into this little studied field, demonstrating a successful venture into less-trodden terrain.
"And I, I will always be split in two - did I make the right decision? And, being torn, I will always have a life which straddles the ocean - a foot on each continent. I will never be completely whole again." In 2004, Bronwyn McIntosh wrote an article about her reasons for leaving South Africa. The unexpected spate of emails that followed was exacerbated by President Mbeki's public criticism of the article. After five years of ongoing correspondence with a wide range of people, Bronwyn wrote a book about her journey to becoming an expatriate. In it she also shares the stories, emotions, experiences and opinions of her numerous correspondents. A few stories are amusing; most are poignant; some are not for the faint-hearted.
Sunny Franklin, a forty-three year old from Las Vegas, made a life changing decision to leave her traveling companions in Egypt and venture out on her own. She met two people in Cairo on her first day alone that would have a profound influence on her life. Sunny learned that Caroline and Howard were extremely wealthy people with busy lives and that they were much more than colleagues. That night Sunny had dinner with them and again breakfast the next morning. The instant friendship was solidified when Caroline invited Sunny to come join her at her farm near Kruger National Park, South Africa. This started an adventure for Sunny into the world of the rich and famous. After staying on Caroline's farm for days, Caroline took Sunny to Cape Town for six weeks of parties and galas and more social lunches than she had ever attend in her life. Experiencing the life of a socialite for some time, Sunny told Caroline that was time for her to move on. She thanked Caroline for her hospitality, but she knew it was time to be solo again. Caroline was upset, but it was nothing that a shopping trip couldn't cure. Three days later, Sunny, once again, found herself in the lap of luxury riding the Blue Train north to Pretoria Station near Johannesburg. It was her transition trip from pampering to having to carry a backpack while on safari. Howard gifted Sunny a new laptop. It was the latest and greatest with satellite capabilities to company the international cell phone he had already given her. Howard loved technology and Sunny reaped the benefits. She entered Botswana on her own with high hopes about her safari - seeing the exotic animals and breathtaking landscapes. She shopped in a women's co-op, she took a tour based on Alexander McCall Smith, Number One Ladies Detective Agency books and also visited a the Khama Rhino Sanctuary. Sunny was happy and lonely at the same time. With night after night of sexy dreams, Sunny was surprised that Africa woke up her spirit and her sexuality. Sunny met Jamie Bevins, a twenty-eight year old, cocky bush pilot from New Zealand, when he flew her into the bush at Gunn's Camp in the Okavango Delta. On the flight, she could smell Jamie's pheromones... her logic was lost and nothing was left but pure lust. Jamie entered into Sunny's dreams. A week later, Jamie came to Kubu Lodge on the Chobe River for dinner and sat down at Sunny's table. The instant chemistry they had for each other was culminated that night. That night of lust and passion change them and forged a love bond that couldn't be broken. They became inseparable adventurers. Sunny accompanied Jamie to New Zealand for his four-year skin cancer checkup. Jamie asked Sunny to marry him but before they could have a ceremony, they had many issues to resolve. On the one-month anniversary of their marriage, while having sex, Jamie discovered a lump in Sunny's. They were devastated when they received a diagnosis of breast cancer. Sunny went through three surgeries, was on drug therapy and took an antidepressant; slowly Sunny became a ghost of herself. Jamie had finished flight school and was a copilot from Sidney, Australia to Los Angles, California. Jamie felt disconnected to Sunny because he was off flying until one night he found her in the bathtub with a razor blade. They had had so little time together and Jamie was devastated at the thought of losing his love. Howard came to visit his friend Sunny and found that she was not well both mentally or physically. She was admitted to a hospital, which helped her physically, but the emotional scars of breast cancer took much longer to heal. Weeks passed and Sunny regained her health. Jamie took a job in Africa flying jets for Howard's company, Hanley International. This would allow him to be home with Sunny more. Sunny knew they would lead healthy, adventurous and lustful lives when they returned into the bush under African Skies.
