wind traps

Author: Ibrahim Nasrallah

A novel of past and present together, within the novels of the Palestinian Comedy Project, different on both the artistic and semantic levels, where the Palestinian not only engages in dialogue with issues, but also contemplates them while contemplating global issues and the meaning of human existence through a text that overflows and transcends borders. The long issue is revived in a sudden love story. Everything is different here in this space extending between 1930 and 2021, with intersecting events taking place in physically distant geographies that intersect fundamentally, from Palestine to Britain, to the Arab world. There are characters haunted by the past they conceal, and others who insist on being more clearly defined after each passage. Resistance to the passage, along with horses that live what humans live, resisting, instinctively and with the logic of their freedom, the cages and traps. Three times, three places, and three paths with the omniscient narrator, whom we see here as one of the most prominent characters in this novel, with all his anxiety, obsessions, dreams, strength, weakness, and doubt, as if he were an orchestra conductor embodied as never before, a being written with questions of immortality, mortality, love, and death, as he recalls the paths of humanity combined on earth, to be an extended character in the trilogy of the omniscient zawi, Windcatchers, one of which, the themes of each novel differ, and their times and places differ, and each one is independent from the other, across an extended history from the beginnings of humanity, united in the tangible presence of the omniscient narrator, far from his traditional non-rank. It is the novel of this narrator, the novel of the horses and women who swallowed the bitter roles, and the novel of Palestine as a profound part of the world's questions
