This is a book that made great noise across the arab world. I finished reading it a while ago. I will try to periodically post reviews of certain books ...
This novel that goes through the woman-love/ city-country duality, not in enough emotional, psychological and intellectual depth though.
The style is very (tooooo) much interested and affected by nizar qabbani's poetry. Sporadic and forced references to general sayings from different universal works of literature that are really out of place.
Important references to corrpution that plagued the arab world and swerved the revolution arising that destroyed the huge dreams of a complete generation of arabs aspiring to modernity, and looking forward to prosperity withouth the existence of foreign occupation. Huge room for improvement, but its still good to have such works in our arabic literature.
