Description

An engaging, wide-ranging, profound, and spontaneous dialogue exploring the writing journey of poet and novelist Salim Barakat. It delves into his relationship with life—from its minute details to his solitude, which mirrors that of a mountain monk, though he is a monk residing in Skogås, Sweden.
The book also includes three essays: one deeply personal piece regarding his relationship with the great poet Mahmoud Darwish, and two others—on thought and language—that raise profound questions about the paradoxes inherent in both.
