The locked paradise

Product details

The Locked Paradise by Atef Abu Seif... "Only Capucci remained. They all departed on different paths, and he alone remained a trace in the desert of absence, mending the tattered garment of the past, reweaving their stories, an unyielding curse; yet he still had to stubbornly continue searching for them despite that. Some of them walked through the labyrinths of death with their branching ends, and some of them were carried by exile into Bermuda Triangles, and news of them became nothing more than rumors whose veracity was as fragile as a stray breeze on a sweltering day. Capucci alone survived, in one way or another, the narrative of absence that afflicted the family like a compulsive plague. By some coincidence, or by some unknown hand, thirty years had not passed since the Nakba before the family members had settled in distant, different, and scattered worlds, and Capucci remained alone within the country."
