The ram ***
*It is as if Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony is a “blow of fate” that we receive, causing us to wake up from a voluntary slumber and an involuntary faint.
When we read “The Ram” by Anwar Al-Khatib; We realize that a memory that does not contain some of that man’s creations is a distorted memory. It has the right to hide in shame or become scattered in vain.
We are overwhelmed with wonder as we ask the author: What imagination sweeps through you and storms your brain when you dress up with a brush to write and even draw a novel that combines surrealism, abstraction, fantasy... and realism?!
* With captivating imagination, we rode the water with you, and we were certain that illusion is the certain truth that we practice with merit and distinction.
* The novel is a painting or a choir playing one extremely wonderful symphony, and each individual player shows his special skill on his instrument. Then the maestro comes with his stick to bring everyone together in one musical arrangement. He connects all the threads of the novel, leaving you in a state of astonishing shock, or say madness.
* Al-Khatib accompanies the animal world with its splendor and sublime “humanity.” He avoids the human world with all its meanness and brutality, and I will not say its animality.. for animals have become more sublime than us.
* Amazement, par excellence, accompanies you from the beginning of the striking and question-provoking title, even as you close the second leaf of the book, announcing the end of reading. Then you discover that your mouth is still open with astonishment and astonishment. And perhaps we will remain on that platform of astonishment until he surprises us with his new edition.
Searching for a wife:
Hello Al-Saa.. I would like to introduce myself to you.. I am Hamid bin Ali, (I know what you say and yes) and there is no need to tell you my last name (I know it is important).. I am now thirty years old and turning thirty-one, graduated from the American University and specialized in sciences. Politics and I also studied information technology.. You say where politics is about information technology.. But I come to love both specializations?.. Two specializations.. Not good, but I have the opportunity to work in both specializations.. I am a self-made person and I do not have youthful affairs or useless evening parties.. I pray my obligatory prayers, praise be to God.. I fast voluntarily on a day, may God help me.. and I like to read the Book of God on a daily basis after the dawn prayer.. I am the second child in the family, and next to me are my three sisters, Noura, Hamda, and Salama.. I was looking for a wife according to my personal specifications, and I told my mother, of course. And the search journey began (my mother's Google was working)... Let me tell you the stories I encountered during this journey..
Are you ready? (Oh God, we put our trust in God..)
On a deep wound that requires ages to heal, the novelist, Kim Ecklin, presses to open a biography of genocide, and travels from the farthest west to the farthest east, to tell part of the tragedy of an Asian country, recording part of the testimonies of the living survivors, and those who wrote small signs, bearing two words. “We will not forget,” and they hung it on tree trunks, and it was also motivated by the story of a woman she met in the market of the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh, who lost all of her family members at that time, and when the Canadian author asked her: “Can I help?” What can I do? Her answer was: “Nothing, I just wanted you to know.”
