The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye

AI Rating: 2/10 - A.S. Byatt's 1994 collection reimagines fairy tales with literary depth, focusing on female protagonists like scholar Isobel encountering a djinn. Subtle feminist themes emerge—female agency, desire, and wisdom amid patriarchal tropes—but they enhance storytelling rather than dominate. No overt identity politics, social justice preaching, or diversity quotas; emphasis remains on narrative craft, psychology, and myth subversions. Mild progressive undertones typical of 1990s literary feminism, not "woke" activism.
