In this insightful analytical work, Basem Hanna Shaheen delves into the profound literary world of Albert Cossery, focusing on his distinctive use of sarcasm and the theme of marginalization. The book examines how Cossery's characters, often detached from societal norms, embody a unique response to the pressures and excesses of modernity. Shaheen argues that Cossery positions marginalization not as a weakness, but as a deliberate and witty answer to the complexities of contemporary life. This study offers a compelling exploration of Cossery's philosophy, revealing his critique of progress through the lens of sardonic wit and chosen detachment, providing a fresh perspective on a unique literary voice.
