Ghali Unfinished Manuscript “Ashl A”

Author
Ghali, Waguih, d. 1969
Abstract
This file contains a fragment of a manuscript left unfinished at the time of Ghali’s death. The fragment is undated. It contains four pages of typescript and 37 handwritten pages. Set in an unidentified West German city in 1965, this fragment introduces the character of Ashl, an intellectual of indeterminate national origins. Ashl is married to a German woman named Gertrude, and they have an infant son named Leonard. Ashl works as a translator for a publishing company. Much of this fragment describes interactions between Ashl and his boss, Jan Hirsch, an Eastern European Jew.
