Looking for Walid Massoud

About the book in this complex, intricate, and masterfully structured novel, geometrically and temporally, Jabra Ibrahim Jabra creates anew a large number of male and female characters that the reader finds impose themselves on their mind, living with them from the inside, and cannot forget them. And as Walid Masoud raises questions, the other characters who try to answer and search with astonishing honesty make us wonder: who are these men and women really talking about? Are they the mirror, and Walid Masoud is the face that looks out from its depths, or is he the mirror itself, and their faces rise from its depths as they themselves do not know them? We do not think that such a novel has been written before in the Arabic language. It is not just a continuation of Jabra Ibrahim Jabra's novelistic art: it is a significant addition to contemporary novelistic art. Publishing house: Al-Adab. Author's name: Jabra Ibrahim Jabra. Year of publication: 2018. Number of pages: 382.
