Overview
حسن السّبع يكره الكون بأسره، باستثناء أمّه. وأمّه اختفَت. من عزلته، يراقب الجميع ويعرف أسرارهم. قد يبدو صبيًّا هزيل البنية، لكنّه ذئبٌ ورث ذئبيته بالدم لتكتمل حلقة العنف المكتوم والمصائر المُترابطة في عائلته، كما في أيّ عائلة. ففي النهاية، القصّة واحدة، والفعل واحد، فقط الأسماء تتغيّر، فقط الأزمنة، وفقط الأماكن.
تأخذ البيئة الفريدة لمدينة طرابلس اللّبنانيّة دورًا بارزًا في هذه القصّة، حيث تنسجم الشوارع والأماكن مع مشاعر الشخصيات ومصائرها، وتصبح شهودًا على تحوّلاتهم وصراعاتهم ومشاعرهم الأكثر حميميّة. فيتابع القارئ عن كثب حياة حسن السّبع وعائلته وجيرانه ويتنقّل معهم بين الماضي والحاضر. تمتزج الأحداث في هذه الرواية القصيرة بين الواقع والخيال ببراعةٍ فائقة، لتتداخل بين جوانب الفقد، والكراهية، والفقر، والجريمة، ما يمنح السرد طابعًا مثيرًا وعميقًا، إلى جانب جرأته الاستثنائيّة.
Hassan Al-Saba' hates the entire universe, except for his mother. And his mother has disappeared. From his isolation, he watches everyone and knows their secrets. He may seem like a frail boy, but he is a wolf who inherited his wolfishness through blood to complete the cycle of suppressed violence and interconnected fates in his family, as in any family. In the end, the story is one, the act is one, only the names change, only the times, and only the places.
The unique environment of the Lebanese city of Tripoli plays a prominent role in this story, where streets and places harmonize with the characters' feelings and destinies, becoming witnesses to their transformations, struggles, and most intimate feelings. The reader closely follows the life of Hassan Al-Saba' and his family and neighbors, moving with them between past and present. Events in this short novel blend between reality and imagination with superb skill, interweaving aspects of loss, hatred, poverty, and crime, giving the narrative an exciting and deep character, along with its exceptional boldness.
"The spark of violence is generated the moment the imagined world collides with reality, thus the characters of Suhaib's novel burn in its flames while he looks at them with unbearable tenderness." - Fadi Al-Abdullah, Lebanese poet and writer
