Description Toward Books ساق البامبو
لماذا كان جلوسي تحت الشجرة يزعج أمي؟ أتراها كانت تخشى أن تنبت لي جذور تضرب في عمق الأرض ما يجعل عودتي إلى بلاد أبي أمراً مستحيلاً؟..ربما، ولكن، حتى الجذور لا تعني شيئاً أحياناً. لو كنت مثل نبتة البامبو.. لا انتماء لها.. نقتطع جزءاً من ساقها.. نغرسه، بلا جذور، في أي أرض.. لا يلبث الساق طويلاً حتى تنبت له جذور جديدة.. تنمو من جديد.. في أرض جديدة.. بلا ماض.. بلا ذاكرة.. لا يلتفت إلى اختلاف الناس حول تسميته.. كاوايان في الفلبين.. خيزران في الكويت.. أو بامبو في أماكن أخرى.Rating Of Books ساق البامبو

An excellent insight into life in Kuwait and The Philippines.I've just finished this and I was pretty impressed by the way the author managed to show the full extent of Jose's position as a Philippino/Kuwaiti, both in the Philippines and in Kuwait. I was also surprised to find that this is in fact a translation from Arabic, so full marks to Jonathan Wright, the translator. Jose's mother, Josephine, was a Philippina maid in the Al-Tarouf household in Kuwait, when she fell in love with Rashid, theساق البامبو = The Bamboo Stalk, سعود السنعوسی = Saud AlsanousiJosephine comes to Kuwait from the Philippines to work as a maid, where she meets Rashid, a spoiled only son. Josephine, with all the wide-eyed naivety of youth, believes she has found true love. But when she becomes pregnant, and with the rumble of war growing ever louder, Rashid abandons her and sends her back home with her baby son, Jose. Brought up struggling with his dual identity, Jose clings to the hope of returning to his
I read this book in its original language, Arabic, but I'm reviewing it in English because it's been translated and I want all my English-speaking friends here to read it too.This book is about José, the son of a maid from the Philippines and her employer's son, a rich Kuwaiti man. The book explores the story of a man lost between two homelands, the one he rejects and the other that rejects him. It highlights the elitism, racism and the absurdity of the social hierarchy of Kuwait, and of Arabs

The novel speaks so much about Kuwait and the struggles one can face in Kuwait. It's interesting how it discusses the mysterious power "family name" holds in Kuwait. Also, human rights issues and the "Bidoon" are important themes. The setting is very realistic; the language is simple, but it is rich with paradoxes and philosophical statements. I especially like how the novel is creatively formed.
For me, it was the kind of book that I couldn't say whether it is really really good or average good! All I know is that while reading it, I felt serene. I loved Jose (Isa); he has a kind heart& spirit. I loved his perspective and analysis of life. I loved how the difficult situations, he suffered from, did not blacken or harden his heart towards his relatives. Tje flow was smooth and the description of the characters was fine. (Sometimes deep and others not) I wonder how the Kuwaitis
I love the story so much. I was very impressed that a Kuwaiti author wrote about something that's not boring and wrote it in a manner that is both eloquent and entertaining. I'm not used to reading books written in Arabic for fear of misunderstanding (or not understanding the storyboard all together) but this one had a very entertaining plot and the fact that he used familiar events and accuracies made it believable. it makes you want to read it to find out the ending. and the ending didn't
