Zikula Land novel

“They say, ‘Love is blind,’ and he says, ‘Blindness struck me when I fell in love.’ But here he is, having loved and whatever happened, happened, and now he sits every day in his room to write again.

‘I am Khaled Hassani, twenty-eight years old, a graduate of Cairo University’s Faculty of Commerce for six years. My hometown is called Al Bahofriek, affiliated with Dakahlia Governorate. Today, my marriage proposal to my beloved was rejected for the eighth time, for the same reason.’

Then he looked at the wall and hung the note next to seven other notes that seemed to have been hung at previous times.”
