Damascus: The Book That Reads Us

دمشق: الكتاب الذي يقرأنا

By Architect Imad Darouich

Prose poems in which Damascus reads its visitor, moving from the Bzouriyya spice market and the Barada River to Bab Touma, a cemetery of words, a coffee cup in Marjeh Square, the shadow of the Umayyad Mosque and a house of absence. The last piece imagines the city's memory as an algorithm.
