If the first occupation was carried out using bullets and grenades
then how will the second occupation be?
The notion of “safety” shall inevitably change if time was stretched
between both occupations, and the gaps shall be filled by “paradox”
so that the cycle of life will keep turning.. despite the continuous
change in its external form from one cycle to the other.
Hassan Matroud is a Kuwaiti author and filmmaker,
Paradox is his second novel, and the first to be
published with English translation.
