سادن المحرقة - Satan of the Holocaust

منتهى التخييل السياسيّ هو أن نُقابِلَ أور – الوجه الآخر لنور والمناقض له، المحتلّ المهزوم سلفًا، المأزوم دائمًا، المُحمَّل قسرًا بتراث المحرقة؛ أور المتخفِّي تحت قناع القوَّة المُطلقة، الرافض أن يُقرّ بإنسانيَّته من أجل الإمعان في شيطنة الآخر، حتى ولو كان يحلم باللغة العربيَّة ويتعلَّمها.
نصٌّ بديع يخرج من الثنائيَّات التقليديَّة ليغوص في السؤال الكبير الذي يطرحه نور في بودكاست نور: "مَن مِنَّا يصنعُ الآخر؟".

Satan of the Holocaust by Bassem Khandaqji

Satan of the Holocaust is the second part of the "Almond Braids" series by Palestinian writer Bassem Khandaqji. The novel continues the journey of Nour Al-Shehdi, a Palestinian archaeologist who found an Israeli identity card named "Orr Shapira" in an old coat, leading him to assume the identity of this Israeli. In this part, we hear from "Orr" himself, narrating his story through two voices: the first in the first person, and the second in the third person, as per the suggestion of his therapist, Hadas, who encourages him to write to explore the roots of his psychological struggles.Goodreads+1Instagram+1

The novel delves into Orr's internal conflict with his military past, particularly his participation in the Lebanon and Gaza wars, and the psychological impact these experiences had on him. It also examines his strained personal relationships, such as his breakup with his girlfriend Dorit and the deterioration of his mental health following the loss of his brother, Gideon. The narrative raises questions about identity, memory, and humanity, exploring how one can be a "guardian" of a historical holocaust while grappling with personal traumas.
