Wishes That Will Not Last

About this book

Malaz Awad opens a private box of thoughts and offers readers not a single plot but a mirror of their own contradictory desires. The prose pieces move between the wish to become a flower, a drop of dew, or a source of comfort and the harder knowledge that even cherished dreams can dissolve. Desire and impermanence remain in constant tension. Written as intimate confession, Wishes That Will Not Last explores longing, disappointment, spiritual restlessness, and the search for peace when reality refuses the shape imagined for it.
