The Last Letter
By Eman Omar Hasan Hajam All Walid ever wanted was to be free of his past. Now he must
confront the ghosts he's been running from for more than 20 years.
\When a 31-year old man comes face-to-face with the prospect of an early death, at first he sees nothing but confirmation of his oldest and deepest fears. But chance encounters with a couple of strangers give him new passion and perspective.
Finally, he begins to recognise the childhood trauma and tragic coping mechanisms that have kept him from leading a normal life. Now, the question is not just how long he has to live, but whether or not he can come to terms with his past in time to save himself - and what that salvation would entail. "Our truth is always the one that takes its roots from within the soul, from the things that you cannot explain to others." • Nomad Publishing is proud to announce a major new library of contemporary Arabic literature in translation, bringing into the international arena exciting Arab voices which paint a vivid picture of Arabia at a time of astonishingly rapid change |
