Samīr Naqqāsh: Between the Sacred and the Demonic
Geula Elimelekh surveys the work of Samīr Naqqāsh (1938–2004), who emigrated from Iraq to Israel at thirteen but wrote only in Arabic. She argues that one theme unifies his life and fiction: modern humanity, severed from its roots and bereft of faith, has lost its way between sacred and demonic forces, in a world where a benevolent God stays hidden and chaos, dehumanization and the absurd prevail.
