Author's name: Wasini Al-Araj Publisher: Al-Ahliya for Publishing and Distribution Year of publication: 2018 Literary classification: Novel Brief about the book: When reading the novel "My: Isis Koby's Nights," Me: the human being becomes at a breath's distance from us, so we hear her sobbing while at the peak of her isolation in the insane asylum, Al-Asfouriya, into which she was unjustly thrown, with the aim of seizing her real estate and financial inheritance... and we listen to her breaths as they fade quietly, before her final departure from a world turned into hell by her family and friends. In fact, the novel goes further in its artistic analysis of the serious problems of the era, as the generation of Me: chose modernity but refused to pay its price. Lutfi Al-Sayyid, Taha Hussein, Al-Rafi’i, Al-Aqqad, Gibran, Shouqi, Mataran, Al-Rehani, and others, shaped the intellectual society of the twenties to the fifties, but they left it hanging within an impossible modernity, shaped by the religious system and conservative thought.
