The bridge

Author's name: Ismail Kadarihidar Publisher: Al-Jamal Publications for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2016 Literary classification: Novel Brief about the book: The news about what happened to the bridge spread incredibly fast. And people began to remember the wandering singers and recall their clothes and faces, especially struggling to remember the words of their songs, which they distorted like the wind bends the reeds. They all said: "Who would have believed that their prophecies would come true? They were not singers, but magicians." The rumor began to spread around day and night, wrapping the bridge in an even denser and darker secret. And at night, he would set his only knot, which was struck with brutality, appearing black over the river's surface. From afar, the repaired places, the mortar, and the soft lime covering them resembled bandages on a limb fractured. And with this deformed body, the bridge carried misfortune.
