In Remembrance of the Saints By Muhammad Sadiq Kashghari, translated by David Brophy 304 Pages. Columbia University Press . $35. Readers of this column will know that I am apt to come up with broad literary categorizations. Here is one I’ve thought of lately: whereas in English novels character is portrayed through appearance, action, and speech, in French character comes through the depiction of inner thought. Think of the distinction between the novels of Stendhal and Flaubert and the novels of Dickens and more Dickens.
