The novel is a metafictional work that blends autobiography, political critique, and psychological drama. It follows the life of Yanāl, a former translator who is falsely accused, tortured, and stripped of his home—an ordeal that drives him into exile in Spain and eventually into the morally ambiguous world of arms trading.
The narrative unfolds through two interwoven voices: the central narrator and Yanāl himself, whose scattered manuscript pages form the emotional core of the story. The novel explores themes of identity, revenge, displacement, and existential contradiction. The title “Yanāl” is both the protagonist’s name and a verb, symbolizing the tension between aspiration and loss.
