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? .
