Exploring Literary Genre Overlapping In Arabic Fiction: Examining The Novel Of El-sayed Hafez "plain Coffee" As A Model.

Résumé: ABSTRACT: The present research paper aims to scrutinize the overlapping between narrative text and diverse genres within Elsayed Hafez's novel Plain Coffee. The novel is a new style in the art of the Arabic novel, which began to create its various styles far from the imitation of the West and from the traditional prevailing of this narrative art in our Arab world for about half a century.

This expansion beyond traditional boundaries underscores the genre's creative flexibility while retaining its distinctive characteristics. Upon examining instances of these overlappings in El-Sayed Hafez's novel Plain Coffee, where the novel engages with various arts such as theater, poetry, and popular literature, we observed that these interactions significantly impacted the overall textual coherence.
