The obvious one here being The Blind Owl, but I'm wondering if there are other novels that fit the bill that exist in translation. Middle Eastern lit fic seems to be very underrepresented in online anglophone discussion, and a lot of what I found seems to be either diaspora lit or largely realist political narratives. Nothing wrong with either of those, but my tastes lean toward the surreal in literary fiction. Anything else like that from the Middle East?
