About this title

Synopsis

في أكثر من رواية، كانت "رجاء عالم" تدور حول عالم مكّة، معبّرة عن حبّها وشغفها بكل ما يحيط بتلك المدينة، تدور في الهامش، في الأسطوري، تكتب عن مكّة/ المدينة، الغيب، كأنها تبحث عن بوابة للدخول إلى المتن: الإنسان.

ها هي في "طوق الحمامة" تخترق تلك البوابة، وتسير ذهاباً وإياباً عبر آلة "آلة للزمن" تجوب ذلك الوجود الإنساني، الذي هو وجودها الشّخصي أيضاً.
