In Ghada Al-Samman's profound and challenging work, 'The Tribe Interrogates the Deceased,' readers are invited into a rich tapestry of allegorical narrative. As Volume 12 of her esteemed 'Incomplete Works' series, this book delves deep into themes of societal scrutiny, collective judgment, and the silenced voices within a community. Al-Samman, a fearless Syrian literary icon, masterfully constructs a world where the 'tribe' represents conventional authority, cross-examining a 'deceased' figure who symbolizes suppressed truths or marginalized individuals. This compelling volume offers a sharp critique of traditional values and power structures, urging a re-evaluation of justice and perception.
