Writing while standing:
It is considered the last book by the late novelist Hassan Mutlaq, the author of the novel (Dabada), in which he talks about the philosophy of writing and the novel. It also embodies his reflections on awareness and perception, which he used to employ in the book and the novel. It is a book that prompts us to ask here: What are prose books? Why do we write? Who is the real writer? What is the point of literary writing? Who is the reader and what is reading? .
قد تُفتح صناديق الذكرى بسبب درجة حرارة مُعينة، يستشعرها الجسد مع تغير فصول السنة، حين يطرق الشتاء الأبواب تبدأ أجسادنا بالبحث عن أولئك الذين يشعروننا بالدفء
Mario Rota, a professor of linguistics, falls while doing his usual morning exercise, spraining his ankle. When he returns to his apartment, the landlord introduces him to the new tenant, Daniel Berkwix, who will live next door to him.
Starting from that moment, everything will change in his life, as the new tenant is his colleague not only in housing, but also at work, and threatens his existence and status. Things will get worse when he visits him in his apartment, and discovers that it is a mirror copy of his apartment itself, with its contents and arrangement.
In the novel “The Tenant,” Javier Cercas writes in a graceful and enjoyable narrative, a breathtaking story that we have no choice but to follow page after page to find out the fate of its hero, and how he will face his new circumstances, while everyone warns him after he checks on his ankle: “The stupidest things can get complicated.” Life sometimes."
