Mirrors: Spring 2022

The Spring 2022 issue of ArabLit Quarterly reflects authors & illustrators' thoughts and feelings about MIRRORS, from al-Jahiz in ninth century Iraq to a recipe-compiler in a thirteenth-century Andalusi cookbook to poets and writers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, both widely acclaimed and newly emerging. While mirrors have lost their wonder for many twenty-first century writers -- who find themselves surrounded and besieged by reflective surfaces -- this issue nonetheless helps us regain a distance from and appreciation for mirrors, both solid and surreal.
