A Study of Intertextuality between Thousand and One Nights and 1001 Lies

This article attempts to analyse intertextuality between the Thousand and One Nights and Rafiq Shami’s novel 1001 Lies. The Syrian writer Rafiq Shami, living in Germany after he was expelled from his country, is considered a migrant writer. 1001 Lies is divided into 46 chapters. The name of the main character, Sadiq, means ‘truthful’ in Arabic. He tells a false story every night in the circus, in order to try to prevent its closure. Thousand and One Nights is composed of a frame story. 1001 lies is similar to the frame story of the Thousand and One Nights: It begins and ends each story with a specific phrase. It also employs the transformation motive of Thousand and One Nights, and the basis of the transformation is fairy tales. 1001 Lies criticized the dictatorship through satire that led to civic participation, which could not be found in Thousand and One Nights. Beyond time and space, 1001 Lies reinterpreted the story and the frame story structure of Thousand and One Nights. In terms of community participation, 1001 Lies is a significant piece of literature as a parody of the ruler, the desire for peace, and the reinterpretation of the classics. Rafiq Shami conveys the story of a beautiful Arab culture to modern times.v
