ערביות, יהדות וציונות ביצירת סמיר נקאש

Geula Elimelekh compares Samir Naqqash with Franz Kafka, showing that dehumanization and metamorphosis recur in Naqqash’s stories as they do in Kafka’s. Like Kafka, Naqqash moves from a specific local reality, that of Iraqi Jews, to universal themes of the twentieth century: man abandoned without divine providence, chasing reason and science after the collapse of his spiritual world.
