a hearty short meal; The number of its pages is (199) pages; It is the least of Ayman Al-Atoum’s novels in terms of its number of pages. It is intense, fast moving, and has a deep emotional impact. It talks about a genius doctor who suffers from a number of diseases. Some of them go through most of us, and you may say while reading them: This character is talking about me, this is me. It makes you wonder: Is this disease that the hero fell into? I fell into what he fell into completely and I did not know, realistic in dealing with it and subtracting it; It searches for the cause of the problem more than it presents a solution. It raises a number of existential questions and pathological human obsessions about life, death, success and failure. It tries to answer the question: Does the psychopath know that he is ill?

It is different from all of Ayman Al-Atoum's previous novels; After the literature of prisons, the literature of war, and the literature of historical epics; These come within the narratives of mental illness
