The Losers' Guide

About this book

A dance on the precipice's edge.. do you dare call things by their names? In a world ringing with fake "winners'" screams and motivation phrases sold in glittering cans, this book comes as a cold slap on the face of immersion in deferred dreams. This is no "guide" in the traditional sense granting you seven success steps, but a cracked mirror forcing you to look at "your failure" not as an enemy, but as a state of being you grew accustomed to living in "watermelon water" as the author describes it with his wonted humor. The journey begins with "I'll start tomorrow" promises that never come, passes through cafe smoke and estimation sessions, diving deep into the human psyche's backstage mastering escape. In a literary style joining sarcastic Egyptian vernacular and philosophical depth, Ahmed Fouad decodes "creative failure's" concept, and storms thorny zones about lusts, religious escape, even the contradictions we daily live between what we believe and what we truly do. This book was written for those.
