In Khaled Al-Nasrallah's critically acclaimed novel, a protagonist drifts through a disorienting reality, haunted by memories and the ghost of a past love. The narrative skillfully blurs the lines between what is real and what is imagined, as he searches for a metaphorical 'white line' to separate the darkness of his past from the possibility of a future. This introspective journey delves deep into themes of loss, identity, and the desperate human need for closure and meaning in a world that often offers none.
