Albawtaka Review |
|
Arabic independent non-profit online quarterly concerned with translating English short fiction, Egypt |
|
Albawtaka Review’s goal is to present a panoramic view of contemporary English literature - no one style is advocated over another. We are especially interested in works that take on humane issues by making the invisible seen, that give voice to the voiceless - works that impart message form through aesthetic experience. Writers’ colors, religions, gender and ethnicities do not determine our choices in any way. Albawtaka Review does not and will not adopt any political agendas whatsoever. In addition to showcasing celebrated authors, Albawtaka Review introduces the Arabic reader to authors he/she may have never encountered before, but who are weaving innovative work. Along with translating outstanding pieces of short fiction into impeccable Arabic language, Albawtaka Review sets another standard for the art of biography shedding light on the life histories of each of the writers being tackled. Albawtaka Review’s biographies tend to be more informative rather than critical. Albawtaka Review has been launched in April 2006 as a monthly review then it turned into a quarterly review starting from July 2007. It has published twenty-four issues presenting the biographies of forty-seven English-speaking writers and the translated texts of a novel and fifty-five English short stories. Albawtaka Review depends on some of the most prestigious anthologies of English short fiction such as The Best American Short Stories, The O. Henry Prize Stories and The Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses as well as some of the highly respectable reviews published in the world such as The New Yorker, Ploughshares, Timothy McSweeney's, The Atlantic Monthly, Harper's Magazine, Zoetrope: All-Story, StoryQuarterly, The Yale Review, Harvard Review, Callaloo, Other Voices, The Virginia Quarterly Review, and The Missouri Review.
