Retired thieves

Retired thieves A brief about the novel "In Retired Thieves, a destructive satire reveals a doubt that almost turns into certainty in the illogicality of the world and its deception of us... The writer transforms satire not into a voice expressing mere repression, where satire is a tool of the oppressed, but into an abstraction of the world from its falsehood that disguises the truth which contains its opposite, meaning satire becomes a means of philosophical generation, which must involve doubt and suspicion and sharpening and refining tools." Mohamed Badawi Abu Jaleel visited a fertile area originally attractive to a novelist searching for fresh literary models, which is the Gamal Abdel Nasser establishment or as the public calls it "Nasser's establishment"... The writer puts down his pen after writing a unique humorous work that combines depth in understanding characters and objective detachment that makes what is morally provocative also capable of laughter and exploring the untouched areas in terms of the place of events, characters, and storytelling style that carries a new taste of satire. Baha' Jaheen "This text made me think and reflect that wisdom is the other face of satire... Throughout my reading of the text, I laugh, a text with extraordinary endurance in humor; all the time, there are texts directing our attention to the fact that satire is the other face of wisdom."
