The writing book

The writer Ibrahim Nasser Allah issues "The Book of Writing: That is Life... That is the Color," which is a collection of testimonies illuminating many aspects related to the anxieties of the literary experience and its transformations. It also addresses questions of writing itself and its techniques, poetry and novel, stories of many texts, how they were born, how they developed, until they were completed, the relationship between the visual arts and literature, and the intimate relationship with cinema, as well as a part of the life experience intersecting with literature, especially during the early formative years and the beginnings of the Palestinian diaspora and its ongoing effects. Regarding the question of writing and the name that is not complete, the writer Ibrahim Nasser Allah says: "Like the questions of freedom, death, life, and beauty, the question of writing has accompanied the journey of man, to embrace all these questions, because these questions, and others, have always been his primary concern that has troubled humans since they first sensed their existence on this earth. The question of writing becomes more difficult when the writer discovers that it is the question that bears the burden of all questions and the question of writing as well." The question of writing is the laboratory of questions, not only as a language but as a way of life. Every writer will come out with a different result from another, but the paradox here is that no one will come out with an answer that can be considered complete. As long as there are humans, there are questions, because the questions of freedom, death, life, and beauty are insatiable questions that do not accept any answer, and all that writing does is to present another open answer, with no direct result other than the birth of new questions; perhaps this is where the writer or artist's misery lies. While science advances after inventing the telegraph, then the telephone, fax, and reaching the internet... writing continues to deal with impossibilities that cannot be achieved, and cannot find definitive answers for. Writing is the profession of finding deeper new questions. The book was introduced by critic Dr. Mohammed Abdul Qader with an introduction titled "From a Cave in a Mountain... to the Summit of Kilimanjaro: Features of a Personal – Creative Biography of Ibrahim Nasser Allah," which states: "...It is perplexing for someone to write a creative biography of a writer like Ibrahim Nasser Allah to determine whether his task is easy or arduous. It is easy due to the vast scope of creativity produced by Ibrahim. It is also arduous at the same time, perhaps for the same reason, as those undertaking such a task must choose and enslave. And in this, there is clear injustice." Whatever the situation, this is an attempt to enter a multifaceted world of a creator who has produced over forty books to date, including poetry, novels, and studies, not to mention dozens of artworks in painting and photography, along with numerous journalistic interviews and creative autobiographies. The first thing that catches the eye when reading this creative journey of Nasser Allah is the diversity of talents and interests, in addition to a clear boldness in linking different artistic worlds that many shy away from. The feature that I believe is the greatest advantage of Ibrahim is that throughout his artistic experience, he has been the owner of a creative project. This project was not driven by a timetable with specific topics but was an expression of the strength of vision and foresight, as well as the strength of will in managing the creative self and interacting creatively with the self, the environment, and the world.
