Notes
If “Dispersion,” the title of the new novel by Muhammad Al-Amiri, reflects a fatalistic surrender that refers to a state of loss, then the “introduction” that the novelist puts in this work constitutes an appropriate introduction to reading the novel and a key to understanding it, and without love, it stimulates our appetite for reading. The novelist says: “Love has a story in our life, and death has rounds and stories in it. Life is before you and you cannot always combine it. You either live without love in order to be successful, or you will love, and then you will not remain standing. Love waters you between this and that, hesitation. We may live without love, but we will be countless alive at that time, and we may die with it, so our remembrance remains immortal among the folds of stories, (...) Life/Love/Death. Options. Three of his madness are long worry and temporary joy, or you choose death and leave your soul lying in his arms waiting for his arrival and rejoicing in him...” Perhaps this view that Al-Omairi wanted refers to the lives of his heroes and what he wants to say to his reader about the meaning of true love in life and the necessity of clinging to it if he finds it, even if this love destroys him. This is what Al-Omairi wanted to say in “Dispersion,” through the story of an aborted love that died before he was born, between “Salem” and “Shouq,” who were united by love and separated by customs and traditions, and after a painful separation, brought them together (Bir): It is suspected that she did that. Intentionally...”, this is what Salem read on Twitter, so he turned back to save his beloved after all attempts to save her failed. He “found her after he lost his way for a long time,” the girl of the well, Shawq. When he read, he did not believe himself. All the news tells of her description, without a doubt. The city was Dammam, a college girl in medical school, who had been suffering from psychological pressures recently, for months. He threw himself into her arms and lay down, hugging her and holding her close to him, wiping the sadness and pain from her face. An angel in the form of a human... He gave her the kiss of life, and gave her a soul of his own. Longing... longing... longing... Salem embraced her and raised her to him. He embraced her with all the strength that the cells of love had given him. He cried for a long time in her embrace, gathering him together after all the diaspora. He practices narrative freedom in his text, controlling the narrative game, which establishes a balance between the novel that controls the fates of its heroes, and the life or fates that control the fates of at least the two main characters. It also indicates the identity of the region to which events are referred, and the social structures and intellectual frameworks prevailing in it. As for the language of the novel, it is mostly direct narrative, but it is infused with internal monologue when necessary, with some metaphor, photography, and constructivism. With these and other techniques, “Diaspora” is not just a name given its name, but rather it is a novel worthy of appreciation and reading. --
