Haunted house Heinrich Bl

38

Product description

The ghosts of Heinrich Böll's house have become a canine memory sniffing the ghost's cloak in everything I passed by of images and conversations, and I remembered when my wife was talking on Skype. The lens through which she sees me reveals that space behind me, when I look into her eyes, I noticed her constant distraction to a point behind me that I do not see. Surely she was not looking at me, but at a point farther away, deviating from the pupil of her eye. And I did not want to ask her about her repeated distraction in front of the Skype lens, and it seems she also preferred not to bother me with these invisible creatures, for there is no specific place she can go to visit them, perhaps in the folds of memory and the human mind. The events of the novel "The Ghosts of Heinrich Böll's House" take place in a small German village, after the narrator left Egypt following the January 2011 revolution; to spend several months in an artistic residence full of surprises and questions, in a house surrounded by forests, with a group of writers of different nationalities. Each of them also bears the marks of a revolution that passed through their country or their memory, and ghosts unleashed by these revolutions... that continued to haunt them for a long time. The author's name is Alaa Khaled. Publisher Dar Al-Shorouk. Number of pages 268.
