Yunus the Calligrapher, the hero of the novel "Here is the Rose," who is swallowed by the metaphorical whale, is an impressive character. He is a mixture of lover, rebel, adventurer, and dreamer who walks to his great goal, dragging with him all the other characters in the novel who see the truth about Yunus while he remains the only one who does not. Himself because he is, simply put, the Arab Don Quixote. Don Quixote had his faithful follower who alerted him to the truth of what was really going on, but who alerted Yunus? There is someone who presents himself, at the beginning of the novel, as if he were the writer, but we will know, without delay, that he is not him, and that is within the framework of an amazing narrative game in which poetry resides in the depths. A must-read novel to know what happened in an Arab time in which dreams (or illusions?!) lived as if they were facts and facts as if they were dreams.
