Then, she looked at me assiduously, "What is it that you do
exactly?"
I replied, savoring my last sip of coffee, with all the sass of a

How to write a novel? Where to find inspiration? What is it that
novels do for us? What is the nature of love? And most importantly,
how and where to find it? Embarking on a literary and romantic
journey, an aspiring novelist guides the reader through the streets
of Damascus to bookstores, libraries, historical landmarks, caf s,
and neighborhoods that carry the traces of history and the
possibilities of the future. Mining the rich and divergent
histories, narratives, texts, memories, and people that occupy the
narrator's mind and everyday life, Writing Love casts a critical
eye on contemporary society and offers a playful testament to the
tangential nature of writing and the many ways to fall in love.
Writing Love was awarded the Naguib Mahfouz Medal for Literature.
