Dictionary of things

Publisher: Taqweem Publications Number of pages: 126 In a world with the extension of the dream, things speak with their inner contents and have their own voice. From this very world comes this collection of stories, where the side mirror of the car has its own suspicions, and the door, with its magical presence, can witness everything. The cigarette ashtray watches people's actions like security cameras, and the cigarette box with its tobacco cigarettes believes that its end lies in the abyss of nothingness. The electric heater longs for winter to bring warmth to those around it, and the mobile phone has become memoryless. The remote control for the TV has fallen under the rubble. Many inanimate objects and things have been given voices by “Al-Zeabi,” making them the heroes of the story, while they used to play a perfect role in others' tales. Al-Zeabi’s language is simple and easy, allowing you to flow within the twists of his stories without boredom. At other times, it invites you to contemplate by dissecting the story, as some of them carry a metaphorical meaning behind their lines. Stories that seem simple in their words often conceal another dimension behind the simple word, leading you to a different level of depth. No matter how many meanings and implications there are, the story in its original form remains enjoyable and exciting because it carries the hypothesis of its occurrence in a world of imagination that we all share through following the tales of this collection. In truth, it was a light and enjoyable read.
