Narrative angles, author: Estabraq Ahmed

It is necessary to point out that the "Angles of Narrative" section is fortunate not only because of the diversity of names, experiences, and guests, but also because of its daily Friday presence on the cultural page — suggested by the page manager, writer Afrah Al-Hindal, in the "Kuwait" newspaper. Without her enthusiasm, the "Angles of Narrative" section would not have been transferred in its entirety, including the discussion on the newspaper's ground, reaping the good fortune of this section. This was driven by the idea that the texts and papers presented in the section should be contained for documentation and preservation of the experience. This was achieved by a fortunate coincidence: that this monitoring took place in the final year of the section. And perhaps it is fortunate that, in the last year of the "Angles of Narrative" section, the episodes were documented through selected texts and guest papers, which represent their comments on the texts. However, unfortunately, due to the difficulty of obtaining radio recordings at times, we chose not to include the discussions that took place live on air, despite their importance and openness to various opinions, whether supporting the writer or disagreeing with him. The publication of this book with this collection of texts may be an opportunity for the reader to interpret it in their own way instead of the critic, and to see the interpretations that this or that text offers. Lastly, I express my gratitude to the guests who played an important role in supporting the "Angles of Narrative" section from the beginning and during the early years of its broadcast on Kuwait Radio. Their contributions encouraged the continuation for five years. Although some did not participate in the final year, their previous presence and what they contributed enriched the work in a way that cannot be overlooked.
