The novel 'Fragments' is the novel of an Arab generation trying to repair the fragments of history, homeland and dreams to reconstruct the picture so that life is understandable and liveable.
It is the story of a boy, Karmuz, named Imad, who tries to understand the condition of his father, Yazid, who rebelled against life in all its details. A boy decided to put together the remains of his father's pictures and clippings that he had saved from the fire when the father suddenly decided, at the height of despair and revolution, to set fire to his memory during a hot summer.
From the pictures and clippings that saved the boy “Imad,” the events of the novel begin to approach what was, as the pictures turn into a flowing stream of words that sheds light on the past of a man “or a generation, more precisely.”
