In this complex, interwoven novel, brilliantly constructed both geometrically and temporally, Jabra Ibrahim Jabra recreates a large number of male and female characters that the reader finds themselves imposing themselves on his mind, experiencing them from within, and unable to forget them.
As much as Walid Masoud raises questions, the other characters, who attempt to answer and explore with astonishing frankness, make us wonder: Who are these men and women really talking about? Are they the mirror, and Walid Masoud is the face peering out from within, or is he the mirror, their faces rising from within, as they themselves are unaware of it?
We don’t think a novel like this has ever been written in Arabic before. It is not only a significant extension of Jabra Ibrahim Jabra’s novelistic art; it is a significant addition to contemporary novelistic art.
