Earth Weeps, Saturn Laughs opens with the return of Khalid Bakhit,
a government employee, to his hometown in Oman after a time away in
the big city, and concludes with his return to the city with a new
maturity born of a series of wrenching encounters with reality.
Khalid's return home, sparked by his flight from a painful love
affair, coincides with events that reveal the force of
long-established traditions that have a stranglehold on the town:
from racial prejudice, to religious bigotry, to ossified patterns
of leadership. Khalid's awakening and transformation are catalyzed
by his encounters with a certain "Saturnine poet" who, in the
course of chasing after an elusive ode, has stumbled upon this
unnamed village. For a period of time "the Saturnine" becomes
Khalid's closest companion: listening to his woes, helping him see
himself with new eyes, and imparting to him a wisdom from a world
beyond untainted by human smallness.
