Description

The novel’s protagonist uses the phrase “I shall correct the error of place” as a pretext to justify his repeated suicide attempts—acts that resemble silent screams hurled at a reality where he clings to the past of a vanished kingdom while grappling with the present of a shifting state. Despite the announced timing of these attempts, they remain shrouded in mystery, unfolding in undisclosed locations as if they were deeply buried secrets never to be revealed.

Amidst this conflict, the paths of friends converge; through a cursory and fabricated reading of Jalal al-Din Rumi’s *Masnavi*, they seek to weave spiritual realms and imaginary personas, conjuring them in an attempt to understand the self and the universe. Yet, these endeavors are charged with wild abandon and a daring inventiveness regarding spiritual biography—undertaken without recourse to reliable sources—thereby imbuing the events with an aura of mystery and reckless impulsiveness.
