Anhor

The time of this novel is a despoiled one; rather, it is a hole that has been as tremendous as a mountain in utter darkness. It´s setting is everywhere in the world but my homeland. It´s main theme is all about the truth, wheras a shameful painful harsh truth in our country must remain as secret as a scandal. Thus, I have nothing to do here but to reveal this truth as well as to uncover it after I let it pass by my senses and develop into a novel that has been like a woman reiterating the following expression: "These are you, and this is your life!" Yet here I am, presenting my first work of fiction to you after more than one hundred and twenty attempts to write short stories. I would call them attempts, because I have not broken free from my fear of our Arab critics judgments yet. Hopefully it will be as good as you have expected, and hopefully this work of fiction of mine will have a strong indelible effect. In the end, succes only comes from Allah, glory be to him, who has created thougt to be published, and not to be prohibited or repressed.
