In the spider's room, by: Mohammed Abdulnabi

The novelist "Mohammed Abdul Nabi" narrates in this novel the story of "Hani Mahfouz," who is just a fictional character, but he is derived from the experience of more than fifty men who were arrested in a case famous as the Queen Boat case in Cairo in 2001, and they were sentenced with different verdicts, ranging from innocence to two or three years in prison. "Hani" comes out of prison after obtaining a verdict of innocence as a broken person, then begins a long psychological treatment journey to recover, where he finds no helper except writing every day about everything, after losing his ability to speak for psychological reasons, during the trial he underwent. It is worth mentioning that the novel entered the short list for the 2017 International Prize for Arabic Fiction. And Mohammed Abdul Nabi is also considered one of the important translators, as he translated the book "Anxieties of striving for status" by Alain de Botton. Number of pages: 348
