A Feast for the Seaweeds (
Reception
The Egyptian poet and scholar Jābir Qumayḥah published a book titled A Feast for the Seaweeds According to Islam, Reason, and Literature (Riwayit Walimah li A'ashab al-Bahr Fi Mizan Al-Islam Wal ʿAql Wal Adab) where he studies Ḥaidar's novel and looks at the parts that cross Islam's boundaries or the boundaries of appropriate speech and expression.[1]
A Feast for the Seaweeds was controversial after being republished in Egypt in 2000, seventeen years after its original publication date, and it was considered to be "an offense to Islam" by Al-Azhar. The novel was subsequently banned in Egypt.
