Not in this way nor in any other way, authored by Qasim Haddad

This autobiography was written in scattered periods, extending from the mid-eighties to the mid-nineties, in various response formats and diverse contexts: answers to questions in a dialogue, commentary, article, participation in a seminar, or a personal confession in the form of reflection, which embodies the experience with mechanisms ranging between intense doubt at times and exaggerated confidence at others. And whenever questions arose within or around the experience, I resorted to dialoguing with it, similar to free association, written in a text here or a text there, some of which was published, and some remained in the night of my papers, in a mysterious sense of reassurance that poetic text is more important than the theoretical talk about it. Therefore, this autobiography remained in a scattering of the air of writing, hidden, merged in the seductive desire of the text to go to the reader innocent of the urge to justify itself that usually afflicts the writer. And if this autobiography, with its evident variability in the degree of emotion, depth, and poetry, perhaps because life itself is also subject to such different and varying states. And this autobiography does not intend to introduce other texts. Nor is it a proprietary way of writing proposed by the author to the reader. This autobiography, then, does not come to interpret what it tacitly (or intersect) with other texts. And if some elements here or some signals there happen to intersect, it is merely due to objective coincidences stirred and conjured by the nature of the preoccupations that the person is engrossed in, both in writing and in life. The autobiography of the text here is a self-dialogue with the soul, longing to connect with spirits troubled by the same anxiety, and reaching toward the same horizon, but at the same time capable of working with various and diverse tools and mechanisms in each experience and each text.
