Writing becomes more vertical, and the field of knowledge becomes broader and more transparent. The methods of expression become closer to a flash and a fragment, to a flash and a thought, in response to the fleeting, intermittent, explosions in this dense, lost, besieged, tormented, aspiring, neglectful, attacking, invading, imitating, a creative body called Arab life.
