Damascus-SANA
The Arab Cultural Center in Abu Rummaneh hosted a critical symposium and a signing ceremony for the short story collection Like an Illusion or a Stronger Speech by the young writer Ahmed Rizk Hassan.
Hassan, who read to the audience stories from the group, explained to Sana that he did not choose writing, but rather she chose it as one of her lovers. The literary work is a very hard work, but it is very interesting, and he is the one who will immortalize his name, but it requires not to be carried away and repetition, and he is happy with this achievement and his happiness comes from what one of the writers says that life cannot Never defeat a writer who feels in love with writing.
Critic Omar Juma explained in his intervention that Hassan is a missionary writer who has a different narrative language, and this third story group has evolved from the previous two groups, where the narrative language appears high and the way the event is built and the characters are developed in it is the craft and awareness of the writer and the use of different techniques and condensation in the language in addition to the multiplicity of human social concerns National, pointing out that the hero in the group is the simple story close to the reader.
Critic Ahmed Hilal pointed out that the storyteller Hassan’s experience stores in his new work his awareness of the inheritance of the story in discourse, style and narrative diversification, investing his narratives in a way that indicates contrast and difference, despite the realistic feature that distinguishes his stories and characters chosen from a rural environment that represents the space of these narratives with its popular character and openness in the narrative, its dimensions and introspection Because of the societal implications of consciousness, as well as the storyteller's involvement in the drama of language and the drama of the event, as two components on which his vision and sensitivity are based in the context of his obsessions with the different narrative text.
The media symposium was moderated by Lubna Mortada, who praised the group, considering that it takes its importance from the aspect of documentation. The storyteller returned us to diving into memory and tampering with letters to reformulate them through his text, which brilliantly combined reality and imagination of the writer.
