Features of the book: Staying in Europe doesn't mean living through identity wars and our major issues necessarily. It's an opportunity to connect with places, learn about minor affairs, and live among marginal people who observe the world quietly and may depart without revealing their secrets. This is how Shaza Sharafeddine spent her Berlin years and documented them.
Summary: "Philip sometimes indulges. Actually, quite often... approximately twenty 'rockets' a day. He hasn't changed since I met him. A former dancer, he occasionally models for art students at a college, and what he earns barely covers his daily ration of hashish. Philip spends his time between Nietzsche, Marx, and Foucault, whom he recently discovered. When he's bored of them all or when the hashish effect kicks in, he starts cursing them for failing to change society. Philip is hard to please. He loves Berlin because it distracts him from doing nothing with his life, and many are like him here." Shaza Sharafeddine is a Lebanese artist and writer. She previously published 'Flashback' with Dar al-Saqi. Publishing house: Dar al-Saqi for Publishing and Distribution. Number of Pages: 160. Year of publication: 2015.
