The magician''s veil

"Ahmed Al-Shahawi enters into a new, unknown adventure in writing. He experiments with the arsenal of love that he has long enriched with abundant savings, and comes out to us with a novel text - this time - that contains a lot of research spirit, a lot of travel treasures, a lot of stories, details, and poetic fragments, a lot of boldness, and a lot of... Transparency, a lot of digging, a lot of restoration, and a lot of humility in the face of the extravagance of the world and the magic of language that intersects with the magic of others... and the magic of reality that produces pain and loss. In this crystalline narrative text, the narrating poet places his cards on the table, revealing... His shadowy secrets, about Fragments from his life, from his memory, from his readings, from what he heard, from his travels, from his friendships. The experienced reader can almost draw a "profile" for the writer through the course of events, the relationships of the characters, and the nakedness of personal places, far and near, as if daylight is fading, in this work of fiction I loved it on the night wall."
