"The Apocalypse of Islam" by Norman O. Brown

"The Apocalypse of Islam," by Norman O. Brown. Social Text, No. 8 (Winter, 1983-1984), pp. 155-171.  This essay appeared,  along with a companion piece, also indispensible, "The Prophetic Tradition,"  in Brown's  Apocalypse &/or Metamorphosis, Berkeley: University of California Press, 1991. And see this earlier post on Brown's posthumously published Lectures on Islam.

    Of course anyone interested in Brown's take on Islam should know of The Prophetic Tradition.
