Leg Over Leg (Arabic: الساق على الساق, romanized: al-saaq ealaa al-saaq) is a book by Ahmad Faris Shidyaq, considered one of the founders of modern Arabic literature. Detailing the life of 'the Fariyaq', the alter ego of the author, offering commentary on intellectual and social issues, it is described as "always edifying and often hilarious", "the finest, wildest, funniest and most surprising novel in Arabic", and "[an] unclassifiable book". It was originally published in 1855 in Arabic in Paris. In 2014, there was an English translation by Humphrey T. Davies published by NYU Press.[1]
