Inhaltsangabe

Malika Moustadraf is a cult feminist icon in contemporary Moroccan literature, celebrated for her uncompromising, troubling depiction of life on the margins and her stark interrogation of gender and sexuality in North Africa. Something Strange, Like Hunger presents the collected short stories by Moustadraf. Here, a light shines brightly on the unheard: a trans sex worker hustling on the streets; a wife kept home by her dominating husband, who passes the day flirting online with strangers; and two mothers who set out to thwart their prospective sons-in-law by falsifying their daughters' virginity tests. Through brilliantly executed twists and rich slang, Moustadraf takes an unflinching look at the female body and double standards around desire.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Malika Moustadraf (1969-2006) was a writer from Casablanca, Morocco. Celebrated by other writers for her distinctive style and experimental language, Moustadraf wrote unflinchingly about life in the margins, centering the female body and experience. An exacting social critic, throughout her life she was persecuted for her taboo-busting subject matter and feminism. Her friends recall her fierce intellect, her humour, and her feminist rage. Moustadraf suffered from chronic kidney failure, preventing her from attending higher education; an intense engagement with the written word and experimentation with hybrid language became her equivalent of an academic discipline. She died at just thirty-seven of kidney disease, denied access to basic healthcare that could have saved her life. Alice Guthrie is an award-winning queer translator, editor and literature curator specialising in contemporary Arabic writing. Widely published since 2008, her work has often focused on activist art and subaltern voices. They include Rasha Abbas, Atef Abu Seif and Sahar Mandour. She teaches Translation Studies at University of Exeter and lives in Bristol.
