What connects Shiite passion plays with Brecht's drama?. Which of Goethe's poems were inspired by the Quran?. How can Ibn Arabi's theology of sighs explain the plays of Heinrich von Kleist?. Drawing striking comparisons between diverse literary traditions and cultures, Kermani argues for a literary cosmopolitanism that is opposed to all those who would play religions and cultures against one another, isolating them from one another by force.
