A sofa, a book, and a cup of coffee... Laila Abdullah
In this book you will find the reader. Find books. But you will not find the author, as he is also an anxious reader who fluctuates between good intentions and bad intentions towards books.
It is also about an avid reader with a magnifying glass in her hand, who follows her isolated writers like her own soul and tries to penetrate the folds of their sad stories and heroes. The lost and the lost. You flounder with them and with them in order to remain a fugitive forever from a globe whose terrain is distorted!
A reader dreams of speaking Arabic with Haruki Murakami. Orhan Pamuk. Azar Nafisi. Saramago. Chimamanda Ngozi. Jhumpa Lahiri. Madhur Jaffrey. Dai Siji. Svetlana Alexievich. Yannick Heinel.

The iconic storyteller Maria Margarita, whose voice became muted in the age of television. Vermin, a vagrant on the streets of Caracas, Julián. The reader who fosters innovation by Carlos Lescano. Zoran Jefkovic Libraries and the library inhabited by shoes. Masterpiece hunter Julian Barnes. The little girl, Liesel, who shattered the ruins of the world with her throat when she stole a banned book...and that seller who started selling books during wartime!
