Building the world of the novelist, author: Nasser Nimer Mohy Al-Din

This book looks at the construction of the fictional world through studying the position of the narrator, its relations, and across ideological, psychological, temporal, spatial, and expressive levels, and how all of that relates to the novelist himself. The analysis in this book branches into the identity of the fictional characters, the realization of the selves, and the mechanism of conflict, as well as the construction of time through relations of permanence and hesitation, and the components of place, its contradictions, and its representation... And because the distinguished novelist Nabil Suleiman has built a vibrant and unique fictional world through eighteen novels spanning thousands of pages, over more than forty years, the Lebanese critic Nasser Nimer Mohiuddin has chosen for his applied field in this book his novels Sumer Al-Layali and Daraj Al-Layl Daraj Al-Nahar, for what they contain of a new and critical vision of the world — which is established in most of Nabil Suleiman's novels — and their coloring with special hues at the same time, so the elements of the novelist's world multiply, and their interaction and diversity increase, addressing the recipient across different times, places, and formations.
