The tiger who claims he is Borges

The tiger who claims to be Borges Diaa Jebail Publication date: 01/01/2020 Publisher: Nabu Publishing and Distribution Type: Paperback hardcover Publisher's note: "I remembered at that time my ordeal with the novel In Search of Lost Time. After finishing reading it, I was thinking about anything I could substitute for the death of Proust. I thought about the meaning of lost time, and imagined it like a sea of jelly, or something like clouds or fog, and maybe mercury, or an unknown mysterious substance, accumulated as a result of the wasted times, which humans have squandered since eternity; that was one of my funny hallucinations, a result of my influence by reading, and surely Borges would mock it." In "The Tiger Who Claims to Be Borges," Diaa Jebail takes us once again into his beloved and distinctive storytelling worlds, where Jebail does not accept the ordinary and conventional, skillfully blending realistic appearances with vast worlds of fantasy. In every story in this book, there is an emphasis on the fact that what is in this life is much more than what we see and are accustomed to, where the tangible intertwines with the dreamed-of, and that "writing is nothing but a directed dream," as Borges expressed.
