Book Description | "The Taste of Sleep" intersects with "Sleeping Beauties" by Kawabata and "Memory of My Sad Whores" by Marquez, to present a novelistic opposition inspired by "One Thousand and One Nights" narratively.
But this time, "Imam" turns the game of the two previous novels upside down, starting from the exact opposite point of view, and what is "novelistically" unspoken about.
This time, the sleeping girl is the one writing her novel, reviewing the intersection of personal history with the history of a nation
and the wound of individual memory with the pain of collective memory, in honor of a restless city, "Alexandria", struggling
with the question of its identity, which is present here as a real hero and not just a stage for the event. |
