The period of writing these stories extended for many years, extending from 1987 with the story “The Smell” to 2013 with the story “May God prolong his life.” They were all written under the weight of heavy tyranny, which made our thinking almost paralyzed and made us free executioners and observers of ourselves. It is “natural” for most of them to be apologized for publishing, as happened with the story “The Smell” which was either apologized for publishing or was ignored by all the newspapers to which it was sent at that time, as well as It happened with several other stories.
All the stories are united by a single concern and a similar atmosphere. Their events take place in the imperial atmosphere, with the meaning of the emperor’s word. The reader does not need effort or help from anyone in deciphering it. They speak of a general concern that everyone feels the burden of, without exception. Some were vocal about it at the times when the stories were written. Some people kept it quiet, but despite the fact that the majority were forced to remain silent, and those who opened their mouths paid a heavy price for not remaining silent, for everyone it was a heavy burden that a person could not get used to, or at the very least hope that it would go away.
These stories were among the forms of expression of that general pain. Some of them were destined to come out to the screen - in some short periods of relief - to reach the audience, even in different formulations from the stories in the book, and some of them remained imprisoned until circumstances allowed them to appear on the pages of this book in your hands.
I decided here to write about my weakness, my strength, my surrender, my fear, my courage, my will, and life. I decided to challenge myself, between those letters, to write about my experiences, my failure, my mistakes, to ask myself a lot about all of that, about every reason that destroys me, and about every reason that makes me stronger. .
Here in this book you will find me advising myself one day, surrendering another day, accepting and satisfied, and angry and dissatisfied with everything at other times.
You will find among all of this a question that I researched in my experiences in order to answer it. I do not have the answer to it because your experience is different from my experience. Read my answer and search for your answer.
I write here because I care about me, I write here because I care about you.
When you decide to surrender, you must also decide not to, and when you decide not to, you must face some weakness until you find the strength within you.
I hope you find what you are looking for here, and I find what I want from writing.
