almost every day

A few days before he turns forty, Fouad decides to start a new life and give up his bad health habits, such as smoking, drinking, and staying up late; a decision he has been making repeatedly and in vain for years.

He also decides to get rid of all the diaries he has been writing for about thirty years, in order to free himself from the past and refresh his life.

His browsing of his diaries turns into another writing project, among other pending projects, and the years pass without it being completed, until a group of ghosts that inhabit him and know him better than he knows himself rushes to his aid, taking the notebooks and raw materials from him, and using them to draw a truthful picture of him, in a free wandering between times, places, personalities, and styles.

This novel is the product of Fouad's ghost workshop in general, and some of it is extracted from his diaries, most of it consists of unreliable facts, and a few of it consists of dialogues, ravings, and hallucinations that are absolutely certain.
