Description

The nature of the world this novel explores is strange:
The protagonist is a human being, just like clay; strange in his viscosity and hardness, his formation and stability, his existence and nonexistence.
He was born from the womb of death, not from sperm, nor did he experience his mother’s womb. He lives two lives simultaneously: the life of his reality and his village, and another life that the protagonist insists on coexisting simultaneously, leading us to conclude that the novel presents a new secret of life and opens a neglected door to explore the secret of existence.
The novel blends multiple worlds, with psychologists, sociologists, historians, physicists, poets, magicians, and charlatans participating in its narrative. It mocks political changes and the difficult situations they bring about in the lives of the simple and marginalized. It also sheds light on the exciting aspects of sexual lust, presenting the protagonist as a model of this lust. It reveals how he grew up to see himself as a man whose masculinity was being toyed with by the girls and women of his village.
The novel is a painstaking exploration of many aspects of our daily lives, transforming them into a nightmare that forces us to rethink the reality of our human existence.
