Lift today

They said about "Today’s Riff": "Although it is classified as science fiction fantasy, it touches the human being in a subtle way. The novel 'Today’s Riff' by the writer Najwa Al-Otaibi, published by Athar Publishing House, delves into human choices, contradictions in his stages, and the deep relationship between consciousness and feeling. An exciting, unique novel with pure language that deserves reading." *Mohammed Ibrahim Yaqub, Saudi poet* "An astonishing level for a first novel. The narration is tight without a word extra. The writer relies not only on skill but also has a point of view, or rather, the necessary anger for writing. A modern Kafkaesque work, where control does not come from an obscure force but from technology, the market, and from within the protagonist who suppresses himself." *Ezzat Al-Qomahawi, Egyptian journalist and novelist* "This kind of vision embedded in the text could not have formed a special poetic without establishing a linguistic vocabulary, which gives the novel work its uniqueness, and immerses the reader in a different reading state that expands his poetic areas he is accustomed to, and throws him into new poetic zones. He perceives their beauty and cannot push them away, and I believe this is a work of utmost complexity and precision, especially in the narrative language, which tends to be expansive and branching. But the writer skillfully managed to grasp this poetic state." *Abdullah Al-Oqibi, Saudi critic*
