Kafkaesque Metamorphosis as Reflected in the Works of Samir Naqqash
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.
The Search for Identity in the Works of Samīr Naqqāsh
Geula Elimelekh
جيئولا إليملك
Geula Elimelekh examines how Samīr Naqqāsh, uprooted from Baghdad in the mass emigration of Iraqi Jews to Israel, struggled with alienation and an unresolved search for identity. Focusing on the collections I, They and Ambivalence (1978) and The Day the World Became Pregnant and Miscarried (1980), she shows how his stories set a cherished Iraqi childhood against his difficult life in Israel.
