Years In The Running Place

In her new novel, Nora Naji presents an exceptional biography of the senses, from vision to touch, from taste to smell to hearing, in honor of a revolution that aspired to go far beyond the sky, but it was content with two legs planted underground and running around.Between a revolution and an epidemic, five artists try to move forward, but they discover that their lives have stopped after losing one of them in the field. They lose their senses and try to regain them by clinging to art, love, and the small details that make up life. The characters he created, “January Reality,” clung to the dream of transforming the predicament of existence into art, and the turning point of revolution into song...For this purpose, Nora Naji created a “novel of texts.” She brought together the painting and the play, life diaries and dream hallucinations, as well as the novel within the novel with a narrative text that goes beyond traditional narrative techniques into the expansiveness of experimentation.“The Years of Running in Place” is a novel that creates a mural for an entire generation, contemplating its defeat.
