ABOUT ARAB VOICES
The books that were selected for the first-ever ARAB VOICES list represent the
depth and nuance, the delight and diversity of Egyptian fiction being written and
read in 2020.
The thirty books you’ll find within were selected by an independent,
seven-person jury made up of librarians, critics, booksellers, publishers, translators,
academics, and, most of all: passionate book-lovers.
Each member of the ARAB VOICES jury compiled their own lists, and the whole
group held several lively debates that were, like so many conversations in 2020, held
over Zoom. In the end, we selected the thirty-two books you find within.
