Rabih Almeddine's An Unnecessary Woman

This video discusses Rabih Almeddine's novel An Unnecessary Woman, which is an amazing literary novel. This book is told from the perspective of Aaliyah Saleh, an elderly Lebanese woman who is obsessed with the written word. She immerses herself in translation work, translating books into Arabic--though she doesn't publish them, just stores them in the maind's bathroom in her flat. Saleh is basically cut off from society and from other people, until the pipes burst in the flat above hers and the water ruins her translations. The neighbors, whom Saleh has up to this point had little actual contact with, join in drying out the pages, reuniting Saleh (however tentatively) with human society. *If you’d like to reference this information or would like to ask me a direct questions for an assignment you are working on, that’s awesome and I am glad to help.
