NooN: Arabic Novel

When it was first published in 1982, NooN was acclaimed as a Turn in the Tunisian literature and unanimously praised by the critics. Noon has brought in to the Arabic fiction and mixed together baroque and fantasy, with a joyful zest of soufism and metaphysics. It is the story of an author striving with the charactar he created, with a mirror effect...meaning that it may also be read as the story of a man (a hero) fighting against control: control of his mind, control of his life, and thinking he would be saved by love.
