Aalam al Qadimالعالم القادم

In this novel, Emirati author Tahani Al-Hashimi sets out from the premise that the world we inhabit has come to an end; from this starting point, she opens the door to questions regarding the nature of the "world to come." When she found herself unable to provide an answer, she sought out a companion to join her on a quest for the truth—yet, remarkably, she chose this companion not from the realm of humans, but from that of the Jinn! Through this creative vision, Al-Hashimi explores the very question of writing itself. Spanning 200 pages—replete with obsessions, dreams, and profound visionary states—the narrative unfolds through a web of relationships connecting individuals who share common interests across the spheres of life, intellect, and literature. Is the author, then, suggesting that a writer’s inspiration—whether born of imagination or reality—serves as the indispensable conduit for creativity?
