| Book Description | Recently published by the Arab Institution for Studies and Publishing, the novel "The Scribe's Notebooks" by Jordanian novelist Jalal Bargis tells the story of an educated, reclusive scribe and an avid reader of novels who loses his family and home, becoming homeless like the philosopher Diogenes. As a result, he experiences a series of events that make him a subject of conversation in the Arab street at a time when new social media has become one of its most important elements. The scribe embodies the characters of the novels he has read and behaves through them. However, due to his isolation, loneliness, and homelessness, compounded by the harshness of a noisy world, his condition worsens, culminating in a split personality that forces him to live in conflict between two voices within him: one inciting him to commit several crimes against a reality that has denied him the right to live, and the other standing against him, leaning on a deep intellectual foundation. In addition to revealing which voice will triumph, the novel explores how intertwined the stories are, leading to a central theme: that fear will inevitably lead to destruction. It also poses several questions, the most critical being: to what extent can an individual shape their life in isolation from the influences around them? And when can the second persona within a person emerge to the surface, transforming the individual into a beast? It is worth noting that Jalal Bargis, a Jordanian poet and novelist born in 1970, works in the aerospace engineering sector. He has written poetry, short stories, and novels, including "Like Any Branch on a Tree" (2008) and "Moon without Phases" (2011) in poetry; "Earthquakes" (2012), which won the Rukn Bin Zaid Al-Azizi Creativity Award, and "Windows of Madaba Guarding Jerusalem" (2017) in place literature; and "Tales of the Old Caf," a collaborative novel published in 2019. He received the Rifqa Dudin Award for Narrative Creativity in 2014 for his novel "The Dreamers Guillotine" (2013), and the Katara Prize for Arabic Fiction in 2015 for his unpublished novel "Fire Serpents," released by the Prize Authority in 2016. His novel "Ladies of the Five Senses" made it to the longlist for the 2019 International Prize for Arabic Fiction. |
