Abstract

After 2011 there has been a marked tendency in Egyptian narrative texts towards dystopian fantasy which denounces the unbearable political situation and heralds the society’s collapse into chaos and violence. This genre seems to be taking on the connotations of a real literary phenomenon in the Arabic world and is attracting the attention of authors and readers alike. This essay discusses this literary phenomenon by analysing some of the most significant Egyptian works written after the 2011 revolution.
