About this product
Product Information
SHORTLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL PRIZE FOR ARABIC FICTION A sensitive and at times darkly humorous story of a young man's experience of illness, his contemplation of death, and his determination to maintain his independence through it all After reading Kafka, K decides to write his own diary, but he is constantly frustrated by his lack of experiences: he is worn down by the drudgery of his corporate job for a faceless corporation and by his incessant family obligations. When he receives the news that he has leukemia, he finds himself torn between a sense of devastation and a revelation that he has finally found a way out of his writing predicament. Through Mohammed's measured but forceful writing, this compelling debut has a universality that reaches across time, place, and culture.

Reviews
"In his first novel, the author managed to create a unique balance between his observations of the community and himself; between sweetness and pain; sadness and irony; the depth of experience and the flow of the narrative. This is a novel that touches the soul."--Muhammad Abdelnabi, ArabLit "This engaging novel is written in a diary format, with the protagonist recording his daily battles with life in a sarcastic voice. The narrative flows smoothly . . . his story [is] interesting and touching."--Ruba Obaid, Arab News, "A fast and enjoyable read, managing to thread a narrative needle between the sardonic youthfulness of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid stories and the dispassionate alienation of The Metamorphosis , all while keeping it grounded in the capitalist nightmare of 21st-century healthcare."-- M Lynx Qualey, Middle East Eye "Aziz Mohammad, a talented Saudi writer, skilfully weaves this introspective narrative, earning his debut novel a spot on the shortlist for the prestigious International Prize for Arabic Fiction." -- Harper's Bazaar (Arabia) "Compelling . . . well-timed, humorous observations . . . [the narrator's] story progresses toward deeper understanding of the human condition."-- Foreword Review "Darkly humorous. . . [explores] the tension and love between children and parents, and the fragility of the system when love and tradition don't always move parallel to one another."-- Manal Shakir, Arab News "In his first novel, the author managed to create a unique balance between his observations of the community and himself; between sweetness and pain; sadness and irony; the depth of experience and the flow of the narrative. This is a novel that touches the soul."-- Muhammad Abdelnabi, ArabLit "This engaging novel is written in a diary format, with the protagonist recording his daily battles with life in a sarcastic voice. The narrative flows smoothly . . . his story [is] interesting and touching."-- Ruba Obaid, Arab News
