My story with Mai

Author's name: Amin Al-Reihanidar Publishing house: The Arab Foundation for Studies and Publishing Year of publication: 1980 Literary classification: Biographies and memoirs Book overview: Rumors have increased about the romantic relationship between Mai Yousif and Amin Al-Reihan: how and when they met, corresponded, exchanged their works and opinions, and the ups and downs, rises and falls that accompanied this relationship. Rumors have also increased about Mai's ordeal: its causes, circumstances, and outcomes. And the role of Al-Reihan in all of that. And this manuscript, my story with Mai, which is published for the first time, forty years after the death of Al-Reihan and thirty-nine years after the death of Mai, is nothing but an admission and seeking forgiveness — as the philosopher of Fariika says — and it is nothing but one face of the heartfelt, vibrant, and interacting biography of each of them.
