“Others might talk about ‘roots’… That’s not my vocabulary, I don’t like the word ‘roots’, least of all its image. Roots hide in the soil, twist in the mud, grow in the dark; they keep the tree captive, from its birth, and feed it in exchange for blackmail: ‘If you’re free, you die!’… “I belong to a tribe that has been wandering since time immemorial in a desert the size of the universe. We leave our homelands when the spring dries up, our homes are tents of stone, and our nationalities are a matter of dates or ships. Everything that connects us, beyond generations, beyond seas, beyond the Babylon of languages, is the ringing of a name…

د.ا4.26The Book of Roses and Ashes – Letters between Muhammad Shukri and Muhammad Barrada – the writer Muhammad Shukri

We dated in the evening, and it struck me during our conversation, which lasted late that night, that Shoukry was far from the picture that fans paint of him: he was sober in his dialogue, rational in his arguments, bold in his arguments and criticism of what he reads. He was not drawn to the “myth” of his past, but was open to his present, living as close as possible to the complex reality accelerating in its transformations.
