In the fifth book by Nader Rantisi
“With Half a Mouth Full” .. From the biography of a person to the biography of people in their third migration
The new book was subtitled "Semi-Sira".
From the source
The writer Nader Rantisi has published his fifth book, Half Mouth Full, in 176 pages of medium size.
The book, which was sub-titled, is “semi-biography” that includes three chapters, “The First Manzil, The Book of Exception, as the Alif after Waw Al-Jama’ah.” Through it, the writer presents stories for his “novel” that extend from Palestine to Kuwait, Syria, Jordan and Iraq.
In the book, he narrates about the lives of Palestinians in Kuwait in the eighties, and a prolonged standing at the second Gulf War (Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait) and its repercussions on the Palestinian family, and immigration to Jordan, but it goes beyond the biography of the person/writer of the biography of an association of the masses of the “displaced” in their third emigration.
The title of the book seems to bear two indications: the first is a descriptive reference to the writer’s suffering at the beginning of his life from “hare lip” disease, where everything related to speech remains incomplete, and the second is that everything related to speech also remains incomplete because it is not said by virtue of “censorships” of multiple references. .
It was said in the book: “This text has been written more than once, and since the second chapter has transcended the subject of biography, towards a broader narrative space.
Beautiful language gave the narrative a special freedom and appeal.
It is a new and authentic text devoid of pretensions and loose rhetoric.”
Rantisi, who works as a journalist in Abu Dhabi, was born in Kuwait in 1979, and holds a Bachelor’s degree in journalism and media from Yarmouk University. He previously published a short story book entitled “The Storytelling Bed” in 2004, in which he witnessed the crises of the contemporary Arab man, breaking into the areas of silence and its hidden regions.
In 2007, he published his second narrative book, "Black Zughb", in which he continued to devise his faithful narrative way of linguistic digging and elevating the aesthetic value.
As for his third book, “You Delete Half Your Life,” published in Beirut 2012, in which he addresses the presence of modern technology tools and their vocabulary in the life of the Arab person, providing a realistic account of the virtual cyberspace, and its emerging or late teens, marital infidelities, and feverish desires to create a reality alternative.
In his fourth book, Hunayn Nader, Rantisi presented a prose work that tells a story and a personality with a psychological intensity full of nostalgia for everything, dedicating in it his writing that includes special characteristics, representing a different horizon for self-introspection, a formula for life, behavior, and the search for the homeland and the person within it.
