This is not a traditional biography where the writer attempts to fabricate heroic tales or embellish fractured images or events. Instead, we are presented with the memories of a writer who shatters his own mirrors to truly see, revealing the human in all their states, stances, and transformations—their heavens and hells, their sins and shortcomings. More importantly, from the very first page, we discover a masterful novelist and an intelligent narrator, whose prose is rich and shaded with the language of a poet, yet who skillfully commands the narrative, breathing life into the text and enticing the reader to delve into its depths.

This biography, in short, is not just about Abd al-Salam al-Musawi, but about his village, with its customs, traditions, and unique worlds, in all its charm and harshness. It is a biography of Morocco and its memory, rich with the details of historical events he experienced there and in various parts of the Arab world, and his relationships with numerous writers, intellectuals, and literary figures in Morocco and across the Arab world.
