Integration of Arabic and German narrative traditions?
[edit]The article states: "The overriding characteristic of Schami's style is its affinity to the oral tradition of Arabic story-telling: one could speak of an integration of Arabic and German narrative traditions."
I doubt the latter. I'm a native German speaker and listen to his works as mere Arabic art of story-telling. Ok, he is doing it in German, but this does not mean he follows any German narrative traditions. Also he tries to show Germans the value of other cultures by bringing it to their doors rather than trying to adopt it to or mix it with German traditions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.164.147.252 (talk) 02:20, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
