Among other topics discussed are transformations of the Alf Layla wa layla in modern Arabic literature. The volume, which also includes two essays on aspects of intertextuality in Gulf literature, is edited by Luc-Willy Deheuvels (INALCO, Paris, France), Professor Barbara Michalak-Pikulska (Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland), and Professor Paul Starkey (Arabic Department, School of Modern Languages and Cultures, Durham University, UK).
