Assia Ali Moussa - رسالة إلى آدم


Assia Ali Moussa est l’auteure de deux recueils de nouvelles. كانتا رَتقاً publié en 2007 (Intishar, Beirut) et رسالة إلى آدم, publié en 2011 (Mim). Introspectifs, ses écrits sont souvent representatifs de dialogues internes et ouvrent une brêche entre le rêve et la réalité.

Assia Ali Moussa is the founder and director of Mim Publishing. She has published two short story collections. Both They Were Sewn Together (كانتا رَتقاً) published in 2007 by Intishar eds in Beirut (the title of which suggests a reference to verse 30 of the Quran’s 21st surah The Prophets) and Letter to Adam (رسالة إلى آدم), published by Mim in 2011, particularly centre on the act and the process of looking into oneself.

Animals are very much present in Assia’s work and this often places her stories on the border of the world of dreams and hallucinations.
