15m² of Bliss
by Mahmoud Tawfik
Description
“15m² of Bliss” is the second collection of short stories by Egyptian-German author Mahmoud Tawfik. Unlike his first collection “Blue”, this one moves away from themes revolving around adolescense, the Egyptian revolution or culltural identity conflicts to explore more universal questions of human life.
In “Santiago” the protagonist sets of on a pilgrimage in northern Spain in search for god and true love. In “Adam” a young, conservative, career-orineted businessman wakes up half-naked on the night before his wedding in a place called “The Body”. In “The good old times” a promising female journalist decides to use medieval Arabic in her everyday life in an attempt to save her ailing marriage. In a style completely his own, Tawfik contrasts the use of dry, sometimes even crude everyday language with the bizarre worlds he creates. His stories offer a playful yet revealing take on the concerns of his generation, in Egypt and elsewhere.
