504    Includes bibliographical references and index. 
520    "First published in 1911, Ameen Rihani's Book of Khalid is
       widely considered the first Arab American novel. The semi 
       autobiographical work chronicles the adventures of two 
       young men, Khalid and Shakib, who leave Lebanon for the 
       United States to find work as peddlers in Lower Manhattan.
       After mixed success at immersing themselves in American 
       culture, the two return to the Middle East at a time of 
       turmoil following the Young Turk Revolution in the Ottoman
       Empire. Khalid attempts to integrate his Western 
       experiences with Eastern spiritual values, becoming an 
       absurd, yet all too serious, combination of political 
       revolutionary and prophet. The Book of Khalid offers 
       readers a heady mix of picaresque, philosophical dialogue,
       and immigrant story. In this critical edition, Fine 
       includes the text of the original 1911 edition, a 
       substantial glossary, and supplemental essays by leading 
       Rihani scholars. Demonstrating the reach and significance 
       of the work, these essays address a variety of themes, 
       including Rihani's creative influences, philosophical 
       elements, and the historical context of the novel. 
       Attracting a new generation of readers to Rihani's 
       innovative work, this edition reveals his continued 
       resonance with contemporary Arab American literature."--
