The writer Gamal Al-Ghitani narrates his separate, connected stories in a wonderful literary style in which the unity of the spiritual rhythm is evident, enveloped by the talent of the storyteller enchanted by the unseen, fascinated by beauty, and possessed by the spirit of ancient culture, as he pours drops of his soul thirsty for immortality, drowned in ecstasy, and with words concentrated his experience in life and beauty in creative narrative formations that he describes from the beginning as “wandering in memory”, some of which may have origins in reality, but it is difficult to determine them, and some of them are purely literary imagination in a way that gives the work an aura of graceful creativity.
