Commentary Conducive To Books يا مريم

يتطرق الروائي والشاعر العراقي سنان انطوان في روايته الثالثة إلى الأسئلة الشائكة التي تعاني منها الأقليات في العراق الراهن، ليروي لنا عبر سيرة يوسف - (الذي يرفض الهجرة وترك البيت الذي بناه) - كما عبر سيرة مها - (التي وجدت نفسها مهاجرة داخل بلدها والتي تنتظر أوراقها كي تغادر العراق نهائيا) - بعض آلام الشعب العراقي، وما يثيره ذلك من أسئلة حول الماضي والحاضر، أي ما بين الذاكرة والراهن.

رؤيتان متناقضتان لشخصيتين من عائلة عراقية مسيحية، تجمعهما ظروف البلد تحت سقف واحد في بغداد. يوسف، رجل وحيد في خريف العمر، يرفض أن يترك البيت الذي بناه، وعاش فيه نصف قرن ليهاجر. يظل متشبثاً بخيوط الأمل وبذكريات ماضٍ سعيد حي في ذاكرته. مها، شابة عصف العنف الطائفي بحياتها، فشرّد عائلتها وفرّقها عنهم لتعيش لاجئة في بلدها، ونزيلة في بيت يوسف. تنتظر مع زوجها موعد الهجرة عن وطن لا تشعر أنه يريدها. تدور أحداث الرواية في يوم واحد، تتقاطع فيه سرديات الذاكرة الفردية والجمعية مع الواقع.، ويصطدم فيه الأمل بالقدر، عندما يغير حدث حياة الشخصيتين إلى الأبد. تثير الرواية أسئلة جريئة وصعبة عن وضع الأقليات في العراق، إذ تبحث إحدى شخصياتها عن عراق كان، بينما تحاول الأخرى الهرب من عراق الآن.

Judge Out Of Books يا مريم

This book spends its pages looking at one day of an Iraqi Christian family with flashbacks woven in the narrative. Often a bit slow but always challenging as we see into a world we do not know... a world filled with violence and war, family and faith, love and hate, each told through vignettes that though small pictures piece together to a deeper understanding of this world so far apart from my own life.

The language is not very accessible, the print is full of typos, the story weak, the characters superficial.. need I say more? I honestly don't know how it was longlisted for the IPAF. It deals with an important issue, in terms of what's currently going on in Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon and many other Arab countries, but it could have been dealt with in a better way. I'm disappointed actually.Perfect and painful, as usual

It took me quite a bit until I got into the book. The beginning missed a bit of spunk. Perhaps because Youssef, the elderly uncle, was a very down-to-earth type of man. The extensive family stories didn't add anything for me either. Nothing seemed to be able to get Youssef out of balance.Not even his niece Maha, who moved into his quite and empty house with her husband after she and her husband had been victims of sectarian violence in their own neighbourhood multiple times. The last event

*Factional ppl shouldn't read it

As a Chaldean-Assyrian, this book profoundly resonated with me. It's an impossible feeling to describe when you read what could easily be your family, dealing with the aftermath of war and suppression, and yet still living in fear of violence, still trapped by occupation. However, as an American born citizen, it was all the more moving (and important) that this is written by an Iraqi (of course, this novel has been translated from Arabic). Sinan Antoon does not place his protagonist in any

Intense portrait of an Iraqi Christian family, taking place in one day and through memory. Brutal in its honesty and heartbreaking, and an equally good portrait of Iraq over the last few decades.
