All things are a symbolic novel that reads on two levels; At the closest level, it revolves around: the father’s relationship with his son, the lover with his beloved, and the individual with his homeland, where the Kuwaiti person’s relationship with his homeland and the regime, which is a political dimension that symbolizes, on a symbolic level, the relationship of the individual with Arab regimes in general, and to every cultured person who lives under a regime that robs him of his freedoms and seeks to domesticate him. And all this in the labyrinth of the forbidden trinity that does not cease to disturb the writer who wants to call things by their names, eager to reveal the truth and not to falsify it.
And in the forbidden trinity, as in its era, there is a struggle between dialectics that do not stop screaming as dichotomies: prison and freedom, death and life, power and citizen, homeland and exile, right and wrong, permissible and forbidden, predecessors and successors, parents and children, and others.
