What remains after the celebrations... What remains after people applaud you... and bring you flowers and gifts!! They take pictures with you and ask for your signature on their small notebooks as if they are taking from you an acknowledgment of your presence with them..!!! They are ecstatic to meet you and enjoy what you have given them. They leave... and the creator of the event returns alone, sad, broken, and alone as he was..!!! *** "The novel captivates you with its beauty and honesty, and the delicate way it deals with human relationships. If it tells stories closely related to a specific social and cultural reality, it goes beyond reality to a broader and more expansive horizon, which makes it worthy of a distinguished place in modern Arabic literature. D. Galal Amin, Egyptian writer and critic
