Moroccan writer Salma Mokhtar Amanat Allah recently signed her second novel ‘Omar the Stranger’ at the Rabat International Book Fair. The signing ceremony was followed by a seminar moderated by critic and novelist Hassan Abido, and attended by writer and critic Said Yaktin, and researcher Said al-Fallaq, at the national library.
The character of ‘Omar, the Stranger’ has an exceptional, weird personality combining all human contradictions, oppression, and mental trouble. In this novel, Omar is the dead narrator who showcases a journey full of pain, and human atrocity.
