The Notebooks of Mihyar al-Dimashqi Volume Five

Description

In “The Notebooks of Mihyar al-Dimashqi,” the unity between Adonis the poet and Mihyar the symbol becomes more detailed, clearer, and more deeply immersed in questioning the forbidden, the repressed, the postponed, or the intimate and private, and all that is connected to passions, desires, and longings.

The writing becomes more vertical, and the field of knowledge becomes broader and more transparent. The modes of expression become closer to the flash and the fragment, to the spark and the thought, responding to the fleeting, intermittent, sudden explosions within this dense, lost, besieged, tormented, ambitious, hesitant, attacking, intruding, imitating, and creative entity called Arab life.
