Kafa Al-Zou'bi
|
Kafa Al-Zou'bi (, born 1965) is a Jordanian author.
|
Her novel "Cold White Sun" was shortlisted for the International Prize for Arabic Fiction in 2019.
|
Kafa Al-Zou'bi was born in 1965 in Ar-Ramtha, Jordan.
|
She graduated from Ramtha Secondary School for Girls in 1984.
|
She earned a B.Sc.
|
in civil engineering from Leningrad State University in 1992.
|
She lived in St. Petersburg, Russia for a substantial period of time, experiencing the end of the Soviet Union.
|
She left Saint Petersburg in 2006, and now lives in Amman, Jordan, where she works as a journalist as well as a novelist, though she maintains strong ties to both cities.
|
Al-Zou'bi has written six novels, five in Arabic and one in Russian.
|
Al-Zou'bi's novels are generally interested in Arab intellectual life and existentialism.
|
The novels "S" and "Laila, the Snow and Ludmilla" were the subject of a symposium debate between translator Alexander Habash and the novelist Faten Al-Murr at the 2015 Beirut International Book Fair.
|
The discussion focused on interpreting the two novels as potentially feminist texts.
|
The literary critic Ali Hassan Al-Fawaz responded with an article rejecting the premise, describing Al-Zou'bi's writing as transcending simple political interpretations; Al-Zou'bi's novels, he argues, require a reader who will rise to the semiotic challenges of her symbolic writing.
|
"Cold White Sun" was shortlisted for the International Prize for Arabic Fiction in 2019.
|
As a shortlisted book, it was one of 6 titles selected from 134 candidates.
|
Being shortlisted comes with a prize of $10,000.
|
Despite this international success, the novel faced censorship in Jordan.
|
In February 2018, the Media Commission forbade circulation of the novel within Jordan and asked distributors to re-export any copies they had in their possession.
|
The Commission declined to give a specific reason for the ban.
|
The novel is about a young intellectual who feels alienated from the conservative society of Amman.
|
Much of the book takes the form of the diary of an old man who was the prior occupant of his windowless room.
|
This narrative raises existential questions about eternity and futility, and the suppression of Arab intellectual culture.
|
The literary critic Walid Abu Bakr described the novel as a combination of the myth of Enkidu in the Epic of Gilgamesh and the myth Sisyphus, contrasting heroic and absurd models of eternity.
|
Issue 66 of "Banipal, the Magazine of Modern Arab Literature" takes Al-Zou'bi as its featured author, with an essay on her literary influences, an excerpt of "Cold White Sun" translated into English, and a review of the novel.
|
This excerpt is the only writing by Al-Zou'bi available in English, as of 2019.

Isaac Lumago
|
Isaac Lumago (1939 – 8 May 2012) was a Ugandan military officer who served as chief of staff for the Uganda Army from 1977 to 1978, and later became leader of the Former Uganda National Army (FUNA).
|
Isaac Lumago was born in 1939.
|
He was an ethnic Nubian, and a cousin of Idi Amin.
|
Lumago joined the Uganda Army in 1963.
|
He later became Uganda's High Commissioner to Lesotho.
|
In July 1976 he was in Kenya, and he overheard Kenya Air Force officers on 4 July, discussing plans by Israel to carry out a raid against Entebbe International Airport to free hostages who were held there by Palestinian and German airplane hijackers with the complicity of the Ugandan government.
|
Lumago and Colonel Gad Wilson Toko, who was in Nairobi for non-military reasons, managed to telephone Brigadier Isaac Maliyamungu after failing to reach Uganda Army Chief of Staff Mustafa Adrisi.
|
Maliyamungu, who was reportedly drunk at a night club, dismissed the warning and told both men that since they were acting in civilian capacities they both should not involve themselves in military matters.
|
The Israelis subsequently launched Operation Entebbe, rescuing the hostages and destroying a significant portion of the Uganda Army Air Force.
|
Lumago was recalled to Uganda later that year.
|
In January 1977 Lumago, at the rank of general, was appointed Chief of Staff of the army and Minister of State for Defence.
|
Lumago did little to exercise responsibility over his ministerial portfolio.
|
At the time, he was regarded as follower of Adrisi who had been appointed Vice President.
|
In early 1978, a political rivalry between Adrisi and President Idi Amin gradually escalated until the latter was injured in a suspicious car accident.
|
The Vice President was consequently flown to Egypt for treatment, whereupon Amin purged his followers from the government.
