Damascus-SANA

Abd al-Ridha al-Hamid, an Iraqi storyteller and novelist from the eighties, wrote in many different literary genres, through which he reflected the human, social and national reality with sincere emotion and sentimental feeling, and turned through it to the resistance literature, which he considered a moral, patriotic and human right and duty, to be present in his long media career. Which he harnessed to serve the causes of his country and nation.

In his interview with SANA, he pointed out that the fictional and fictional topics and their climates are spread everywhere in reality, dream, vision and all sciences, and they are available for easy capture with different angles of capture and their contradictions from one writer to another. An innovative, inciting, and productive doctrine in the use of fictional or fictional language.

And about how his media work reflects on his literary production, the editor-in-chief of the Arab newspaper explained that his literary production was reflected in his media work, as he came from the House of Literature to the House of Information, and not the other way around as is well known, saying: “I came to the media equipped with a lively, clean dialectical language, and an obsession with research.” About the bottoms and mysteries of cities and proceeding to explore dark places and deep souls in their self-isolation and distance from others, as they contain something that stimulates the imagination, and provides it with a horizon without banks,” pointing out that he is still writing in journalistic and investigative investigation and political essay in a language that identifies with the language of the story and the novel.

Regarding the importance of renewal in the narrative style, the author of the book Souraqiyun indicated that there is no creativity in any literary genre if there is no renewal in it, as the multiplicity of narrative and narrative schools is not a feasible goal in renewal unless there is a departure from the traditional style that presents new creativity, whether In language, in construction, or in style, and this is what all Iraqi and Arab innovators seek, as there is a tendency towards renewal and variation.

And one of the founders of the “Literary Contrast” group stated that in 1989, he surprised some young Iraqi writers by announcing its establishment, which is a radical, innovative group that combines the language of narration, poetry, theater, cinema, Quranic stories, and Arabic standing in a single text that was named (Al-Mara), pointing out that the theoretical propositions This group later turned into a platform, in the sense that innovation is a purely creative obsession.

Al-Hamid considered that the Syrian and Iraqi readers are almost one reader, as the cultural climate is one, the social environment is one, the culture is one, and the human obsession is one, indicating that the Syrian reader, like the Syrian creator, is more liberated than the Iraqi reader and the Iraqi creator.

The head of the Iraqi People's Committee for Supporting Syria and the Resistance pointed out that Arab literature has not risen to the level of the serious challenges facing the nation, as most Arab writers are busy with prizes these days, some of which are often politicized, pointing out that many writers wrote thousands of poems and stories about the Palestinian cause, but most of them are short. In writing about the American occupation of Iraq, it is necessary to write resistance literature in the face of any occupation. Anyone who finds himself in disagreement with the resistance should search for a defect in his moral provision, considering it a right and a duty.

He pointed out that criticism in the Arab arena is not at the required level, and the Arab arena did not produce a special monetary system, but there are coercive applications of altruistic approaches to the Arab novel and story, as if what the West produces is a foregone conclusion of its prestige and high status, so we must seek the return of real, distant Arab criticism. About ideology to the cultural arena.

It is noteworthy that the writer Abd al-Hamid al-Ridha was born in the Maysan Governorate in southern Iraq. He has published many novels, stories and theatrical publications, including “I was with the corporal” “The Water Lady” “The Noise of Memory” “Staying in Leaving” “Horses of Meaning”, and he entered the field of media since In 1979, he worked as an editor in several Iraqi newspapers and magazines, head of the cultural section in several magazines, and a writer for the London newspaper Al-Arab and the Parisian editor, and editor-in-chief of several Iraqi newspapers.
