Qaddour’s text takes inspiration from the idea of confession from the text “Death and the Virgin” by the Chilean writer Ariel Dorfman. Without that, the text begins to build its purely Syrian story, which revolves around an old relationship that comes back to life between an officer who was expelled by the ruling regime in peacetime and brought back in war, and “Jalal,” who was tortured in one of the days of peace. Syrian security detention centers, and among a former detainee who was tortured under the hands of the former. The two meet when their destinies intertwine through Jalal's nephew, the theater director concerned with directing the play "Death and the Virgin" in which Akram plays the role of the tortured, while the character of the tortured girl is played by "Haya, Soha Nader", Omar's lover. In the orbit of these relationships, Radwan, Hamza Hamada, the officer’s bodyguard, gets lost without knowing the horrors he will face after leaving the officer’s service to participate in the massacre of the twenty-first century.
سيُمنع كتابي هذا في كثير من الأروقة، وسيُثير النزاع أينما حل، لكنه سيصل إلى عينيك، فلم نعُد في عصر يقدر أيُّ أحدٍ أن يمنع كتابًا ليصل إلى العيون، إذا مسَّت يدُك هذا الكتاب فاعلمْ أنني في قبري؛ فالذي يسبح عكس القطيع يموت. إذا تحدثتَ عني بالشر سيمدحونك على المنابر، وإن تحدثتَ عني بالخير سيلعنونك معي، وقد يبقى جزءٌ فيك يلعنني بعد قراءة هذا الكتاب، لأنه لا يصدقني، انس معتقداتك وكل ما توارثته وأقنعوك أنه صحيح، واقرأ، وستمر الأيام ويأتيك كلامي متحققًا مثل فَلَقِ الصبح

يطرح عمرو عبد الحميد في روايته «دقات الشامو» الصادرة عن دار «عصير الكتب» للنشر والتوزيع 2019، فكرة خيالية جوهرها عوالم أخرى مختلفة عن عالمنا، يصعب تنفيذ قواعدها وأحكامها، وفيها يتحدث الكاتب عن طبقتين من الشعب هما «النسالى» و«الأشراف»، والصراع الدائر للمطالبة بالمساواة والعدل بينهما، بأسلوب لا يخلو من التشويق والإثارة
