وصف الكتاب | In the Apartment of Freedom, the symbol roams. Characters emerge from their names. and the Apartment of Freedom from its location. and events from the corners of their crises, turning the Apartment of Freedom into a space for a certain spot. with characters that are indeterminate beings, capable of taking any title, and events that can take place in any time, and the apartment can be any country. Despite all this, Al-Quseibi intended it to be the Apartment of Freedom, which carries its meaning within its title. It is the freedom that flowed through the events happening within it. the freedom that those thirsting for it seek. To what extent did Al-Quseibi succeed in liberating them to discover their understanding of this freedom through their exploitation of it?!! And its exploitation of them?!! The Apartment of Freedom. is an intellectual space where Al-Quseibi transitions from romance and politics to that rich cultural and artistic atmosphere. Here, he lives with the protagonist who attempts to write a story and belong to the literary community. His observations range from the salons of Al-Aqqad to the sessions of Naguib Mahfouz, passing through Anis Mansour. a vast horizon of abundant ideas. and a roaming imagination in history, politics, human relationships, spiritual and physical, and everything. A novelist poet weaving events with the sensitivity of a poet and the language of a skilled novelist to highlight something, and to critique a certain reality. This is Al-Quseibi as he is. His narrative weaving provides a space for reckoning. |
