Dictionary of things

Book name: Dictionary of Things Author: Nadhir Al-Zuabi Publisher: Takween Publications Category: Novel Number of pages: 128 About the book: The book is sometimes known by its title, but in this case, it is known by its title and cover as well. This book is nothing but a box containing many things that tell and narrate wonderful stories about love and disappointment from its personal perspective.. or the thing, if the term is correct. What if things could feel and speak? My first encounter with the writer Nadhir Al-Zuabi, and I do not expect it to be the last. Al-Zuabi introduced me to the world of inanimate things and delved into his astonishing ideas that made me cry at times and at other times amazed and puzzled me. A collection of stories through which Nadhir Al-Zuabi redefines the meaning of the thing and its subjectivity, whether in perception or reality or in what touches the psychological depth of life, through personifying the “thing” and creating a new trait for it in a short narrative that explores the depths of the language of the subconscious, the language of delirium, the language of madness, and the language of silence.
