The truth and writing
The book "The truth and writing" revolves around descriptive writing in story and novel and reviews four axes: "strategies," "tools," "themes," and "the story." The book comes within the series (Writing about Writing) by the Kuwaiti author Buthaina Al-Eisa. Published by the Arab House for Science Publishers and Takhween Publications (2018).
In the opening of her book, the author Al-Eisa confirms that the truth is the compass of writing. It is the place we head to, line after line. And because the truth is the essence and goal of the artistic work, description was central, and this descriptive writing has this central importance in the novel work. It is not just a tool through which we try to activate our ability to weave different worlds, but rather it is the tool that observes the meaning the writer wants, and it is not a solid mass, but rather a spray, or dust, something that dissolves in the entire work, line after line.
Talking about descriptive writing cannot happen in isolation from the truth of the novel. And if the truth is the goal, then description is the means. And it is a means that takes the judgment of the goal.
This book is an attempt to trace a single thread in the architectural structure of the novel: the descriptive thread. And we might think that the matter is simple and secondary, compared to other components of the novel, such as: plot and characters. Elements that may seem more essential and tempting to the interested writer, but in reality, the descriptive thread is intertwined with all elements of the novel. It is embedded in characters, events, and place, and it is difficult to realize anything in the novel without it. It is often the dividing line between the novel and the story, and between good literature and poor writing.
Talking about descriptive writing, and oh surprise! is a talk about writing the entire novel. It is a vision of the whole through the part, and understanding the surroundings from a drop of water. Let’s begin.
