HER
From the drift of the talk around me, I gathered that she was a dancer, and there was no question that she did a lot more for her Mets T-shirt than I did for mine. It was hard not to be impressed, and as she went on chatting and laughing with the others, I kept on sneaking little glances at her. She wore no makeup and no bra, but there was a constant tinkling of bracelets and earrings as she moved. Her breasts were nicely formed, and she displayed them with an admirable nonchalance, neither flaunting them nor pretending they were not there. I found her beautiful, but more than that I liked the way she held herself, the way she did not
seem to be paralyzed by her beauty as so many beautiful girls did. Perhaps it was the freedom of her gestures, the blunt, down-to-earth quality I heard in her voice. This was not a pampered, middle-class kid like the others, but someone who knew her way around, who had managed to learn things for herself. The
fact that she seemed to welcome the nearness of my body, that she did not squirm away from my shoulder or leg, that she even allowed her bare arm to linger against mine—these were things that drove me to the point of foolishness.
Moon Palace, Paul Auster

five of my idols on forgetting
Larry david: he would make a couple of jokes. go like: "well, at least i'm not to do..(whatever) anymore." or "at least I get to..or have the...for myself.". larry would never stop on this much. I can't do that. I'm amazed of how fast I went over him. for a moment, couple of months back, I though I'm a David.
an Aaron sorkin character: would deferentially be seriously depressed. specially if a writer, or in art business. would be on pain killers. if gone extreme, would do unspeakable things, leave secret messages, do lots of online stalking, or hit on an ugly rebound. too perfect for me, just except in a sorkin scene the end is always green. that's not gonna happen.
a Philip roth character: would run away. disappear. move to another place and start over. carry all the scars, all the souvenirs with, bury them deep, and go for himself. there's a good chance of doing drifts. aberration. slowly becoming a horrible person. and he would go back. or wake up in the middle of the night someday after a nightmare and make the phone call.
a paul auster character: would do lots and lots of writing. buy a new notebook and hit it on with baseball games alone in a condo. would also take long walks across the city, overly thinking everything, openly observing strangers. but as an auster creation would soon stumble upon an encounter that would change his life, for better or worse, doesn't matter, but keeps him busy enough, change-accepting enough. and that's not gonna happen here. cause nothing happens here.
Yusuf Chahine: would run across rooms and slam doors. shouts and fights. looks from behind windows, before film screens, theatre performances with eyes full of passion and eagerness to break free. would thrown a chance somewhere someday, and would run here and there to collect ticket fees. would be on the big ship, a small kid. but he'll be back. and will make great things.
pick a plan.

غالباً سأستمر حتي النهاية
جهاد مسحت مدونتها خالص بعد ما قفلتها سنتين. جابري قفل مدونته من سنين ونسيها. بس أنا غالباً مكمل هنا لحد النهاية. بواقعية؛ أنا مبكتبش هنا كتير لكن، كلمتي الشهيرة، الموضوع أكبر من كدة.

ولكنها لم تتسامح معي...
أحببتها بصدق علي براءتها وجهلها بالأشياء.. ولكنها لم تتسامح معي. لا أصدق. لم تتسامح معي.

رمضان كريم مع قصة مُدوّخة ل ليديا ديفيس
*"لست مهتمة"
**لـيـديـا ديـفـيـس
ت: ا. مجدي
ببساطة لست مهتمة بقراءة هذا الكتاب. لم أكن مهتمة في قراءة آخر واحد جربته أيضاً. أنا أقل اهتماماً في قراءة أي من الكتب التي لديّ، علي الرغم من انها جيدة إلي حد معقول، علي ما أعتقد.
تماماً كاليوم السابق، عندما خرجت إلي الباحة الخلفية، ناوية جمع بعض العصي والأغصان وحملها إلي الكومة في الركن القصي من المرج، أصبت فجأة بالملل الشديد من فكرة جمع هذه العصي في كومة، ثم حملها كلها مرة أخري إلي الكومة الكبيرة، ثم العودة خلال أعشاب المرج الطويلة من أجل المزيد، عملية لم أبدأ فيها حتي، وببساطة عدت إلي الداخل.
* عن مجلة هاربرز، عدد ابريل 2013.
** الكاتبة الفائزة بجائزة المان بوكر الدولية 2013، وصفت بـ"كاتبة القصة القصيرة الأكثر إيجازاً في العالم".
