Информация

Samia Nadim Hassan Al-Atout is a Jordanian writer and storyteller of Palestinian origin. She started her journey with writing fiction since the mid-1980s, when she wrote her first collection of short stories in 1984, and it was published in 1986 entitled (Walls Absorbing Sound), and it received wide echoes at the time, and it formed an incentive for her to continue writing. After that, she published a number of collections of stories and participated in joint collections of poetry and stories. I distinguish her narrative experience in her unique style of formulating the short narrative sentence, which relies on action and movement most of the time and on condensation and brevity in the language. Most of her stories are distinguished by poetic language and images without straying from the fun of storytelling. In her works, the writer focused on developing narrative styles and diversifying narration methods and topics. The storyteller Samia Al-Atoot is considered one of the pioneers in the art of the very short story and modern narrative methods in Jordan and the Arab world.

her literary career
Features of literary talent appeared on her since childhood, as she was interested in poetry and wrote her first poem after the death of her father in 1971. Since then, she has lived in the worlds of books to look at the translated classics of the mothers of books and her readings varied between poetry by the poets of the occupied land, and the existential philosophy of Jean Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, which were greatly influenced by it, as well as Marxist philosophy and others. The fictional writings of Samia Al-Atoot were distinguished by the diversity in her narrative writing methods, and the adaptation of images and poetic phrases in her stories. Her stories ranged from short to very short. The collection (Walls Absorbing Sound) was the first collection of stories that I completed and published in 1986, in which poetic language and graceful narrative sentences appeared, and dealt with issues of alienation and social changes affecting cities and people. Through this group, she was able to find a privileged place for her in fictional writing. As for her second group (Female Rituals), it constituted a quantum leap in her writing, as her interest in women's issues increased, and human alienation in a world whose harsh features began to become evident with the collapse of the Soviet Union. The manuscript group in the competition of intellectual creativity among Arab youth, to get the first place in it. Writer Samia Al-Atout continued to develop her tools and methods in the subsequent collections, which are Mozart's Troubles, Sedition Pants, The Ringer (The Female Spider) and her last collection (Picasso Café). In her stories, she moved to new levels in terms of narration methods and topics, so she dealt with contemporary scientific issues such as cloning and genetic engineering, women's issues and political issues, the most important of which is the issue of Palestine in all her collections. The suffering of women in the Arab world also had a large space in her writings. Her writings were characterized by high professionalism within an upward line of development in the field of the short story. According to the Egyptian philosopher Dr. Anis Mansour, she is about female rituals (the tools of strong performance and beautiful art were completed for her, the quick phrase, the flying meanings, the close goal, and the painful joke do not miss it), and according to the Moroccan critic Muhammad Moatasem (a dazzling writer in her smooth way of storming the inner worlds of her fictional fictional characters in (The Bell Ringer) and skillful in exposing the behavioral contradiction of contemporary man). During that period, she also worked as a writer of political and literary articles for Al-Dustour and Al-Rai newspapers, and for other platforms. She was a member of the Poetry Committee of the Jerash Festival for the years 1990-1991, and a member of the Jordanian Writers Association, the General Union of Arab Writers, and the Internet Writers Union. She participated in many local, Arab and international evenings, meetings and conferences. Many master's and doctoral studies have dealt with her fictional works, and her stories are taught in a number of universities, and some of her stories have been translated into English, Italian and French.
