Abstract

This papper examines concisely the present situation of the arabic novel in Saudi Arabia, in order to focus on the novel by Raja Alem, Sitr (Concealment), that was published in 2005. It was treated from a perspective that mixes travel and interior exile in the spirit of the main character with some images characteristic of globalization in a world without frontiers.
