The crazy one – Jose Mauro | Novel

It is difficult for us, as we read Al-Makhbool, not to recall the story of the gentle boy Ziza in my orange tree, the wonderful tree, and let's wake up the sun, and not to get involved in sympathizing with him, with his stances and decisions, as he has become a twenty-year-old young man. The young man "Ziza" or "Zay" did not abandon the glow of his personal dreams, nor did he stop searching for a meaning to his life, carving out his personal adventures in a world hostile to him, until he was called a vagabond. Zay faced family, teachers, and priests, and insisted on following his dream and seeking his happiness. It is an emotional story from the most creative writings of José Mauro, which we rarely find an equivalent to in terms of captivating readers and attracting critics with its artistic wit because, quite simply, it touches on the shared human experience: love and dreams.
