Novel 7 | Ghazi Al-Gosaibi

On Medusa Island, Golnar had to choose one of seven men to spend an exciting night with. These men came to the island only for her body. They desire her violently.
 
The poet Shehata is fond of myths, especially poetry, but old words are too narrow for our renewed emotions. The philosopher Jamal has a philosophical charm and virgins are enamored with him, but weren't all philosophers sexually attractive? The journalist Masoud might be a good choice, for what is more exciting than information? But Anwar, the psychiatrist, might be more exciting, as he challenged Freud in his own civilization and wrote a book that sold millions of copies.
 
There's no need for haste. Perhaps that night will be for Basrawi, the spiritual astrologer and sorcerer. Isn't it exciting for a woman to sleep with a jinn? Sleeping with this man is the adventure of a lifetime. Who knows what could happen? Maybe the bed will fly.
 
But doesn't Harbi, the man of globalization and business, deserve a moment of contemplation? He sent her gifts worth more than a million dollars. And even though the ministry doesn't excite her, and nothing is more boring to her than sleeping with ministers, it's never wise to exclude Raymond, His Excellency the Minister and owner of the yacht he calls a boat.

 
 
"...The novel "Seven" is an exciting, unconventional work that presented characters rich in artistic and narrative meaning, yet it expresses a corrupt era and destructive values. Therefore, the narrative development process ended with the death of these characters in a tragic ending... but the signals of art say that patterns of behavior do not die."
Yousry Hussein
 
"...Expressing the evil lurking within the characters, the ugly face that the Arabian place has colored, the time that fades away carrying nothing but humiliation and extortion, and more of both..."
Dr. Hussein Manasra
 
"...A novel that puts its finger on the Arab wound, with a sarcastic, mocking style that arouses sadness and sorrow in us at the same time we laugh with all our might."
Yassin Rifaiyah
 
"...The novel "Seven" retains its unique special world, conveying it with strong linguistic skill and a broad culture that spans various fields, making it undoubtedly capable of summarizing the events of an entire era and what it brought of faces, wealth, and positions..."
Al-Nahar Newspaper
 
"...Al-Qusaibi was able to sketch the features of the characters with his perceptive, sarcastic brush in a caricatural way that explodes fountains of laughter and helps the reader to expose the psychological and social structure of these characters, and then reach the reality that produced them, shaped their features, and allowed them to grow and flourish..."
