Tawq Al-Tahara - Muhammad Hassan Alwan

The Ring of Purity - Muhammad Hassan Alwan: The novel deals with the story of a Saudi young man living in emotional contradictions, and rediscovering his philosophy about love, the other gender, within the framework of his psychological shocks carried since childhood. Writing the novel was like planting a field of opium, numbing me for a specified period. Many words shocked me, so that the soul could return to its reassuring cycle several years before another set of words accumulated, narrowing the passages, roads, and attempts at avoidance and denial, and on the heart grew again the usual wild grasses, and I was seized by the painful wakefulness when the effect of the previous novel ended. ***"The novelist tried to breach some of the taboos that are considered for the novel and the novelist in the end." Alia Mamdouh, Iraqi novelist. The Ring of Purity - Muhammad Hassan Alwan Author's name: Muhammad Hassan Alwan Publisher: Dar Al Saqi Number of pages: 263
