The Epistle Of Forgiveness by al-Jawbarī
A witty, imaginative narrative in which a poet-narrator is transported into the afterlife and tours heavens and hells populated by famous poets, theologians and ordinary sinners; through satirical dialogues and interspersed verse the work lampoons religious pedantry and literary rivalries while probing themes of divine mercy, human failings and the uncertain boundary between orthodoxy and heresy, ultimately weighing the power of repentance, forgiveness and poetic reputation against communal judgment.
