A fascinating and highly contemporary novel… Contemporary in the sense that it is written in a style that is reminiscent of the latest works of Western and Japanese writers. The use of techniques in constructing the narrative is truly remarkable. Despite its small size, this novel contains a vast amount of knowledge. Its poetic quality, technical skills, and meticulous construction are no less impressive than those in the massive novel “Bendol Foku”. Sami Khshba’s first novel represents a bold attempt to challenge the conventions of literary storytelling. It showcases innovative approaches to literary form. It’s a truly innovative work, filled with strength and knowledge that sometimes challenges the conventions we’re accustomed to. Its creativity and linguistic prowess are beyond the reach of many linguists. It also manages to provoke deep questions in the reader. Salah Fadl
