Critical Reflections on Hassan Zrizi’s Novel: I shall await you at theThreshold of Hope

Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 09

Abstract

This study examines the thematic exploration of social and spatial dynamics in I Shall Await You at the Threshold of Hope by Dr. Hassan Zrizi. The novel presents a decentralized social vision, inspired by the experiences of marginalized individuals. The novel portrays a poignant landscape characterized by suffering and expectation, with recurring motifs of disappearance and the tension between life and death. The author employs the metaphor of the mountain's base to represent the social proletariat in the ancient Roman sense, thereby highlighting a static, hierarchical structure. The narrative arc involves the reintegration of this base with the pinnacle, encouraging reflection on concepts of verticality, horizontality, and transversality. Artistically, the novel adheres to postmodern aesthetics through the fragmentation and re-appropriation of space, confronting the threat of oblivion while offering a message of boundless potential.
