Rites of Assent: Two Novellas (Arabic: الم … Rites of Assent: Two Novellas (Arabic: المهدي وطرف من خبر الآخرة) is a collection of novellas of Abd Al-Hakim Qasim. The two novellas were translated into English by Peter Theroux and published in 1995 by the Temple University Press. The works were copyrighted 1984 and published by (Arabic: دار التنوير). The short stories are "Al-Mahdi" (Arabic: المهدى) and "Good News from the Afterlife" (Arabic: طرف من خبر الآخرة Turaf min khabar al-âkhira). The settings of both novellas are small Nile Delta villages. Samia Mehrez of the American University of Cairo wrote the introduction, which includes a biography of the author and a critical analysis of the works. The title refers to what Judith Caesar of the American University of Sharjah stated as "the assent of those who know better to the voice of convention and their failure to assent to what they know to be the truth." This theme appears in both novellas. Caesar stated that in both novellas "the meaning is not conveyed through rounded characterization, but by what all the relatively flat characters taken together suggest by their actions or inaction." Caesar stated that the Theroux translations were "beautifully written, the language spare, pared-down, precise." the language spare, pared-down, precise."
