Swiss summer

Author's name: Inam Kajji Jidar Publisher: Al-Rafidain for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2025 Literary classification: Novel Brief about the book: We expanded and the light was on. Then the light was off. She laughs in the darkness and I whisper that the victim has become in the arms of her executioner. We left behind trivial terms and occupied ourselves with what we are in. A man and a woman only meet, and between them an angel. We set aside the years and try late love. We fail or succeed. Harsh years and drought passed over us. We forgot the arts of companionship. But love is like swimming and riding a bicycle. A skill that one leaves and does not forget. He dives into the water, moves his arms and legs, and floats. The thirsty embrace contains him. "Swiss Summer" is the story of four Iraqis who meet in Basel to try a drug for treating ideological addiction. Their parties damaged them and destroyed their country. And the Swiss city offers them candies and restores the delayed love connection. Inam Kajji Jidar: Iraqi journalist, novelist, and documentary filmmaker.
