An overview of the novel The Rule of the Weak
This novel carries a vivid picture of the suffering of the awakening generation of young people with their fight against love and honor in favor of religion, and their attempt to achieve the principle that there is no honor in love and no love in honor. That very recent era killed many love stories and tortured them under the cover of darkness.
Immigrant writer
Moving between Zabaltani, Dawaila, Saydnaya, and all the way to Istanbul, Ahmed Aswad - a tailor on a sewing machine - tells the story of his life as it appears to him, a life full of transformations and first experiences: the beginning of falling in love, traveling, and planning a murder.
In a special language that may seem neutral, but it is sarcastic and full of emotion, Wassim Al-Sharqi explores forgotten corners of the lives of a marginalized segment of Syrians before 2011, such as: smugglers on the Lebanese border, or sewing factory workers, and patrons of bodybuilding clubs and bars in old Damascus.
“Black” is a journey to delve into the motivations and drivers that direct people’s behavior and destinies, and an attempt to trace the source of the blackness that surrounds our lives and settles in our souls, difficult to disappear.
