“Three Whose Ears Were Blocked with Cotton” is a new collection of stories by the writer Imad Naddaf, which varied between short and very short stories, in a coherent artistic style that combines reality, imagination, and a sarcastic serious-style stories.
In his stories, Naddaf seeks to address the social reality and its influences related to behavior and the environment, relying on simple cases or otherwise.
Author Naddaf combines the culture of the past and the present between authenticity and contemporary. The author mentions cultural cases that the recipient searches for.
In the story “My Tight Pants and My Brother’s Wide Pants” and the story “My Grandfather Didn’t Know What Happened,” the reader imagines that Naddaf matches reality perfectly, but in the events and components he seeks to improve reality with an emotional approach to those he is referring to.
In his very short stories, Naddaf relies on emotional artistic snapshots, as they approach psychological states that reflect what is going on in the same line of events, such as the stories “Slap me” and “Whisper with the other.”
The story collection is located in 144 pages of the publications of the Arab Writers Union.
