Al-Asfouriya - Ghazi Al-Qusaibi

Al-Asfouriyya is a Levantine word that means the hospital for the insane, and the hero is the professor who recounts the history of the Arab nation in a clinical treatment session to the psychiatrist. Here, Al-Qusaibi wanted to say that the hospital for the insane is the only place where sane people can speak in this world.

In this novel, Al-Qusaibi mixed the local dialects and criticized the complex of Al-Khawaja among the Arab intellectuals and elites, the problem of power and other chronic Arab problems with unprecedented boldness.
