Maryam, the heroine of the novel "Living Dead," wonders why this suffering and bloody history is upon us. Why are we destined to live between intervals and on the pavements of three consecutive dots where moments of peace are almost unforgivable? This book is one of the few novels that makes its reference point the boundary between life and death, capturing both external and internal transformations, between the new world order and the development of awareness among peoples, especially Arabs. The prominent character of Maryam and her commanding presence alongside a group of companions reflect on life during those times. The novel's events are accompanied by heated incidents and the deepening political awareness among a group of students in their conflict with the as it is pleasing to the author to call them. The author discusses the past and the present revolutions we live through now.
