The reader’s question can be extended, even remembering the axiom of the need to move fiction writing away from any event that we still live according to its rhythm, because without “digesting” at least this event, it will rush, because the virus continues to install our livelihood , and makes us surrender in most cases to its heavy reality of our days. His events related to the count of his injuries and deaths!
In response to the question of feasibility, the introduction to the novel “The Damned Crown” by the French-speaking writer Iskandar Najjar gave an answer that “everyone has their own approach, angle and tone” when dealing with the theme, “since the crisis is global”. She refutes the question of haste, citing the “stubbornness of martyrdom” wanted by Albert Camus, arguing that “we need hundreds of books and films, as happened after the two world wars, to inform the first generations of what is difficult to explain today “. To write about something else now would be inappropriate and irresponsible. “Consequently, the introduction is compelling, reminding a demanding reader. The introduction is nothing more than a letter from the writer Goodans to an editor written by Mark. Godanz, who in his supposed manuscript relays stories centered on the epidemic in Wuhan, and the ship “Diamond Princess” anchored in Yokohama, Paris, Milan, Naples, Beirut, Tehran, Madrid and Washington. Each geography has a chapter or more, and the personalities recover in the form of the ego known from the news of the epidemic, in an Arabic language translated (the book was placed in French, and in digital version, first) elegant, with reference to the broad knowledge of the narrator of each geography that is mentioned by a place in their stories; Their cultures, diaries and details, although the heroes tend to remain on the surface, and the similarity of their personalities does not come out to the public only a little.
Among the personalities are an American journalist who believes in a conspiracy theory, and an Italian who fought to flee to Nice after the epidemic claimed thousands of victims inside his residence, and an Iranian forensic doctor who refused the falsification at all costs … does not jump from the “marginalization” of the characters to influence a reader full of developments of the virus, in the media. In addition to the Jesuit monk actively participating in the October 17 uprising, in the Beirut class. The monk who believes in the ability of faith to remove the mountain and, therefore, in helping faith to come out of the ordeal of the Corona virus, did not find it in the face of “fundamentalist” Christian believers, instead of stopping Mass in the church, which witnessed the confusion following his decision to place Holy Communion in the comfort of the faithful instead of directly committing to them. On the palate, in accordance with the instructions of the Precautionary Bishop of the epidemic. “You cannot be half revolutionary”, according to the monk, who prompted the question, when the chapter related to him is completed: How easily the novel “The Damn Crown” carried the reader into their hands will leave its documentary character, uninteresting in most chapters, and his frantic narration, in the direction of A rich and slower fictional world, if he delved only into this unique character, in its one hundred and forty-one pages, in a context in which the Lebanon uprising and epidemic? A novel, instead of being a media mirror of the epidemic, describes the space of its hero, a member of the Lebanese “Black Army” at the time of the pandemic.
The fictional world weakens the more its chapters resemble media stories
The coronavirus, the way that reminds us every day that human destinies are similar to it, regardless of their nationalities, and that most governments did not know how to face and its horrors, began to penetrate the world of the novel. In the follow-up to what was written about it over time, the “cursed crown” will be among the first products related to the virus, helped by the multiplicity of languages in which it was published (French, Spanish and Arabic). As for effect, if we go beyond Godans’ woven introduction and conclusion, then the matter is relative depending on the reader, even if the narrative world weakens every time its chapters resemble media stories!
