Beautiful lyrical prose that I could spend time parsing. I admire both the author and the translator for such lyricism. I like the play with style, too, from conventional narrative to diary to screenplay. I would love to read more by Mamoun.
Some of my favorite phrases:
"as she walked down the street, her legs long like crochet needles"
"You're like a cloud, bringing rain to the parched earth."
"Because just like all villains, I too had fears"
