Retired thieves

There are retired thieves, destructive mockery reveals a doubt that almost turns into certainty in the illogicality of the world and its deception of us... The writer transforms sarcasm not into a voice expressive of mere repression, where sarcasm is a tool of the oppressed, but into an abstraction of the world from its falsehood that disguises the truth contained within its opposite, meaning sarcasm becomes a means of philosophical generation, which must involve doubt, suspicion, sharpening tools, and refining them. Mohammed Badawi Abu Jaleel explored an enticing virgin area for a novelist seeking fresh literary models, which is the جمال عبد الناصر establishment or as the public calls it "Manshiyat Nasser"... The writer puts down his pen after writing a unique humorous work that combines depth in understanding characters and objective detachment that makes what is morally tense also capable of laughter and exploring virgin areas in terms of the place of events, characters, and storytelling style that carries a new flavor of sarcasm. Bahaa Jahiin This text made me think and contemplate that wisdom is the other face of sarcasm... Throughout my reading of the text, I laugh; it is a text with extraordinary endurance in humor; all the time, there are texts directing our attention to that sarcasm is the other face of wisdom.
