The Well Shaft Novel - Abdu Khal

A suspenseful summary of the novel Al-Sahrij: Songs for Abandoned Nests — by the writer Abduh Khal. In the depths of popular neighborhoods, life is overwhelming and tumultuous... a life full of all the colors of the spectrum, dust, fire, rain, morning breezes, and evening folk songs... lovers' thefts of their beloved’s eyes from the balconies, and the bragging of thugs with their bloody heroics... and distraction with tales of wealth and chasing stories of jinn until they settled in their hearts... days that moan like the madness of storms, sometimes joyful and sometimes painful, but hearts there are kneaded with water of sighs, and remain swinging between times, flowing with memories, humming the sesame song, and lovers hiding behind coded messages for their beloveds... a lively life, and all cherished wishes to grasp the slightest dream to make it come true...

The novelist was lurking around the characters, stealing from their mouths a summary of what they found in their times of hardship: Al-Yardi: _ The destruction of destruction, the merging of big secrets and crushing them so there are no secrets! Ibrahim Ashour: _ The races planted in distant places only yield death... Mohamedoh: _ I was not a rebellious lover...
