Commentary In Favor Of Books فئران أمي حصة
ما عادت الفئران تحومُ حول قفص الدجاجاتِ أسفل السِّدرة وحسب. تسلَّلت إلى البيوت. كنتُ أشمُّ رائحةً ترابية حامضة، لا أعرف مصدرها، إذا ما استلقيتُ على أرائك غرفة الجلوس. ورغم أني لم أشاهد فأرا داخل البيت قط، فإن أمي حِصَّه تؤكد، كلما أزاحت مساند الأرائك تكشف عن فضلاتٍ بنيةٍ داكنة تقارب حبَّات الرُّز حجما، تقول إنها الفئران.. ليس ضروريا أن تراها لكي تعرف أنها بيننا! أتذكَّر وعدها. أُذكِّرها: "متى تقولين لي قصة الفيران الأربعة؟". تفتعل انشغالا بتنظيف المكان. تجيب: "في الليل". يأتي الليل، مثل كلِّ ليل. تنزع طقم أسنانها. تتحدث في ظلام غرفتها. تُمهِّد للقصة: "زور ابن الزرزور، إللي عمره ما كذب ولا حلف زور..".Mention Appertaining To Books فئران أمي حصة

This novel offers deep insights into the state and society of Kuwait during the last 30+ years. Told in two parallel story arcs, it retells historic events and offers glimpses into a possible near (by the time of the original publication) future of the country.The larger parts are set back in time, starting in the mid 1980s: The narrator and his group of friends grow up as neighbours, classmates and dear mates, even though the different sects they belong to cause tensions between their familiesDNF in the 17th of May 2018I honestly tried with this book. I just couldn't continue through with it , it was simply too boring for me.The story wasn't going anywhere, it was just repeating itself.Characters were the best part ,especially hessa.I don't know if this simply his style or if it's just this particular novel, but it was really hard to follow or maintain interest.Language was okay for the most part but it wasn't at the level I expected it to be for a booker prize winner.
I received a free ebook version of this book as a Goodreads giveaway.I admired the structure ( deftly plotted and arranged despite the surface simplicity of the writing) and the difficult topic of the recent history of Kuwait. The questioning protagonist and his friends reflect the various sects and ethnicities of Kuwait. There is a bittersweet almost nostalgic tone to the book. The mix of the present day ( blasts which knock out windows and leave buildings in ruble) with the street and compound
This book tells a compelling story set in Kuwait. It starts on one street and telescopes out. It reveals the conditions that existed before the Iraq Invasion and the aftereffects. The narrator, as a boy, a young man, and later an older man, tenderly recounts the steadfast friendships he cherished in his neighborhood. Friendship is inaccurate here as the intimacy is almost as close as those in a family. And it is that proximity which makes the ensuing conflicts, disagreements, and
This novel showed a personal view of Kuwait before and after the Gulf War. Its hard to imagine real names and faces with the stories we just saw on the news, but this book added so much depth from real lives.Im always in for a book with engaging characters. Through Katkouts memories of the past and the neighborhood where he spent his boyhood, I became invested in seeing what was happening to him and his friends in his descriptions from the present. Alternating between his childhood memories (in
