We Are All Adam

About this book

We are all Adam.. when a single body grows too narrow for all these voices. Have you ever wondered how many 'I's live inside you? And are you truly the one holding the reins of your life, or merely an actor performing a role written by someone else dwelling in a dark corner of your memory? In the novel 'We Are All Adam,' we accompany 'Adam' on a harrowing journey beginning from the streets of a city that disowned him, and a café the dead frequent before the living. The tale begins when Adam discovers his solitude was a grand illusion, and that inside him is an old theater lit without his permission, upon which appear characters he knows who do not know him: 'Samer,' whose funeral he himself attended yet he sees him smoking before him, 'Layla,' whose specter he chases in every corner, and 'Karim,' demanding he recover his stolen life. Between the corridors of psychiatric hospitals and the torn pages of diaries, the tone escalates from mystery to naked confrontation with the self. Was the fire that consumed the past an accident, or did it begin first in Adam's head? This is not merely a novel about 'illness' but a revealing human mirror placing us.
