Hanan's biography

Product details

Hanan's Biography by Wael Yassin... All these shadows are indistinct, defying interpretation. Light comes and goes, or a door opens and closes. Darkness stretches suddenly and recedes just as suddenly. Threads unravel and tangle. Shapes enter and exit. A woman carrying a tray—no, the scene doesn't seem that way. A boy leaning against a door—not that either. Two women embracing—no, they're mostly arguing—no. A man and a woman... a long kiss, sir... ah. In this novel, we experience Hanan's journey, the prostitute, from the moment her absent father, Mansour, found her in the river's sanctuary among the reeds, to the room she inherited from him, which became a shrine, and the religious gathering that grew up around her, transforming her from a sex worker into Hanan, the daughter of Sidi.
