In this world that is made of images of dreams and
nightmares, there are specific points that are surprising when
they appear written in one of the lines, because they indicate
what is real. Like "Haifa" the city, and other names for places
that call for remembrance, history, or nostalgia, and time, not
only places, has well-known designations in the hero's head.
There is the current war going on in Syria, as in other
countries close to it. These wars are little mentioned in the
novel, but they must, nevertheless, be a reference event for
the fantasies and delusions that build in the novel.
Is it a novel about the last experience of exile? Is it about our
time, which has become difficult to represent the facts?!
