From a small window

Amir Taj al-Sir

With the insight of an experienced writer, and with intelligence and sarcasm, Amir Taj Al-Sir delves into the backstages of writing and the Arab literary scene, where the profession is practiced without distinction, and lives are wasted for the sake of letters that may never find a reader.
It doesn't tell a single story, but rather brings together fragments of situations, disappointments, astonishment, and wonder... in a narrative that captures the uncaptured, blending nostalgia with humor, and pain with wit.
A book unlike any creative person's notebooks or soft diaries; rather, it is a true mirror written by someone who lived it and stood on the edges of creativity, holding his pen and amazed by the whole scene.
