DESCRIPTION:Jonas Elbousty\, Senior Lector\, Department of Near Eastern Lan
 guages and Civilizations\, Yale University. Most studies of Choukri focus 
 on his autobiographical works\, often overlooking his short story collecti
 ons: Majnūn al-Ward (Flower Crazy) and al-Khayma (The Tent). This talk di
 scusses these stories through Émile Zola’s idea of the “experimental 
 novel\,” showing how Choukri uses naturalism to avoid exaggeration and i
 nstead focus on how people’s behavior is shaped by their environment—s
 pecifically\, the city of Tangier and its history.\n\nCONTACT: 262-2380\,
