The purpose of this thesis is to analyze Kitab al-Tajalliyât (The Book of Theophanies), a trilogy by the contemporary Egyptian author Jamal al-Ghitani. I will be situating my analyses within the context of contemporary Arab discourse about the relationship between al-turath (tradition) and al-mu'asara (modernity). ln his experimentation with narrative strategies, al-Ghitâni constructs his works in a relationship of "hypertextuality" to conventional forms of discourse that constitute part of the Islamic turâth. In Kitab al-Tajalliyat, he parodies the genre of sufi epistles, with specifie evocation of the discourse of Muhyi al-Din Ibn 'Arabi (1165-1240).
