As the author of this book, may I point out that the subtitle is wildly wrong. There is nothing about "classical Arabic literature" in my book. Please fix the citation. Also, this book was a preliminary work, that has been superseded by my definitive biography and analysis of the works of Robert Cormier after he died in 2000. That title is Robert Cormier: Daring to Disturb the Universe (Delacorte, 2006.)
