Description

Six years before the Egyptian revolution of January 2011, many young Egyptians had resorted to blogging as a means of self-expression and literary creativity.

This resulted in the emergence of a new literary genre: the autofictional blog.

Such blogs are explored here as forms of digital literature, combining literary analysis and interviews with the authors. The blogs analysed give readers a glimpse into the daily lives, feelings and aspirations of the Egyptian youth who have pushed the country towards a cultural and political revolution.

The narratives are also indicative of significant aesthetic and political developments taking place in Arabic literature and culture.
