Art in Memoirs - Ali Hussain - Bog

In the "Art in Memoirs" series, author Ali Hussain tries to explore the subtle space of creativity that resides just beyond the language barrier, or even breaks it. Like those ineffable mystical experiences that effuse endless volumes of expression, this collection also attempts to whirl around the contours of writing, music and other forms of art where the infinite pierces the finite.By placing both the English and Arabic versions of each reflection side by side, the author tries to convey the unique aura of each language in conveying the richness of meaning. For those who comprehend both registers, the twin renditions will always act as serendipitous mirrors of art's memoirs. For those who know only one of these languages, then let the other act as a statue of exotic calligraphy, performing the intended meaning from a distance."Setting Forth" is the title of the first volume in the "Art in Memoirs" series.
