The Committee, Writing in an intriguingly symbolic and minimalist style, author Sonallah Ibrahim has been called the Egyptian Kafka. And no wonder. This wry take on Kafka´s The Trial revolves around its narrator´s attempts to petition successfully the elusive ruling body of his country, known simply as ´´the committee´´. Consequences for his actions range from the absurd to the hideous.In Kafkaesque fashion, Ibrahim offers an unbroken first-person narrative rendered in brief, crisp prose framed by a conspicuous absence of vivid imagery. Furthermore, the petitioner is a man without identity. The ideal anti-hero, he remains, as does his country, unnamed throughout the intricate plot with a locale suggestive of 1970s Cairo.Considered a major work, The Committee sardonically pierces the inflammatory terrain between ordinary men, unbridled displays of power, and other, broader concerns of the author´s native Egypt. The novel´s corrosive, shocking conclusion catapults satiric surrealism into a new realm. gebundene Ausgabe, 11.2001.
