The Well of Life
Nawal El Saadawi
One of Egypt’s leading writers and activists, Nawal El Saadawi has been compared to Margaret Atwood and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Here, in one volume, are presented two novellas, both redolent of the themes and passions of her unique fictional voice.
"The Well of Life" is the story of a poor woman, born into a primitive life and given into an arranged marriage. Her passive and routine existence is fractured by a mere smile, but from this turning point commences a transfigured existence, passionate and doomed.
"The Thread" depicts the relationship between a doctor and a female patient beset by pain and ailments but suffering from no diagnosable illness. The discovery of a wellspring of sexual and emotional forces lies at the heart of this narrative which weaves fantasy and reality into a compulsive whole.
Nawal El Saadawi writes of the power of individual lives, often of women combating religion, the state, and the tyranny of domestic relationships. Subtle and wise, these fictions from a distant culture speak with a universal voice.
