Description
This book is a wondrous blend of Gaston Bachelard's The Poetics of Space, Ibrahim Aslan's A Household Sequence, and Georges Perec's Species of Spaces. Amal Alsaeedi does not take us to many places, instead, she takes us to her inner self and its positioning within Al Maskan (home) with its latent and less remarkable details, from A Portrait of A Toothbrush and The Sleeping Pills Splitter to I Will Kill My Father, and In the Field, I am the Absence of the Field, she writes in a new and unique narrative that is not too far from poetry and does not overly take the shape of storytelling.
