God Dies by the Nile and Other Novels presents in one volume three novels by Nawal El Saadawi: God Dies by the Nile, Saadawi’s classic attempt to square religion with a society in which women are respected as equals; Searching, which expresses the poignancy of loss and doubt with the hypnotic intensity of a remembered dream; and The Circling Song, in which Saadawi pursues the conflicts of sex, class, gender and military violence deep into the psyche.
