In her usual fine style, Refusenik has a really interesting post about Rajaa Al Sanii, a 24 years old Saudi dentist who has written a provocative novel, The Girls of Ryadh. Published in September in Lebanon, and already going into its third printing. Refusenik reports that "in Saudi Arabia, where the sexes are strictly segregated, authorities haven't decided whether to approve its sale, but pirated editions are circulating in photocopy form."
