Book Description | 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 crisis, turning the Apartment of Freedom into a place for some patch. and characters are beings without designation, capable of taking any title, and events can occur in any time, and the apartment is any country. Yet, despite all this, Al-Qusaybi intended it to be the Apartment of Freedom, carrying its meaning in its title. It is the freedom that has flowed through the events within its atmosphere. the freedom of those thirsty for it. To what extent has Al-Qusaybi succeeded in liberating them to discover their understanding of this freedom through both their exploitation of it?!! And its exploitation of them?!! The Apartment of Freedom. an intellectual space where Al-Qusaybi moves from romance and politics to that rich cultural and artistic climate. Here, he lives with the protagonist who tries to write the story and belong to the literary community, his observations extending from the salon of Al-Aqqad to a session with Naguib Mahfouz, passing through Anis Mansour. a broad horizon for abundant ideas. and a roaming imagination in history, in politics, in human relationships, both spiritual and physical, and in 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-Qusaybi as he is. his narrative weaving is a space for reassessing responsibilities. |
