Book Description

عن الرواية: عُثر على مخطوطة كتبها أحد السجناء خالية تماماً من النقاط. وقد طُلب من أحد "الرفاق" تنقيطها وطبعها على الآلة الكاتبة. ووُجد أن النص عبارة عن خواطر غير متسلسلة واستذكارات غير منطقية وبذاءات واستخفاف بمقولات الأب القائد وبقيم الحزب والثورة... تنطلق أحداث الرواية لكاتبها العراقي الأمريكي، سنان أنطون، من السلطة القمعية التي فرضها “حزب البعث” في العراق، في ظل حكم صدام حسين. بطل الرواية هو طالب مسيحي يدرس اللغة الإنكليزية وآدابها في الجامعة، ويتعرض لمضايقات من أعضاء الحزب المنضوين في اتحاد الطلبة العراقيين نتيجة مواقفه المعارضة للنظام، وهو ما ينتهي به معتقلًا. صدرت الرواية عام 2003 عن دار الآداب للنشر والتوزيع في العراق، وتُرجمت إلى الإنكليزية والنرويجية والبرتغالية والألمانية والإيطالية.
