Afrasianet - Dar Al Khaleej Publishing and Distribution has published the novel "The Truth Lives Tomorrow" by Jordanian writer Harun Al-Subaihi, his second novel after "The Past Dies Tomorrow", along with eight other works distributed among short story collections and academic books.
The novel is 215 pages spread over five chapters, and belongs to realistic literature that is inspired by social and living life, while anticipating what societies may become in the future. Al-Subaihi chose not to specify a specific place for the events of the novel, giving its facts and characters a dimension that goes beyond a specific geographical framework.
The novel deals with issues of corruption, power, money, and justice, through a group of characters whose fates intersect in accelerated and sudden events, moving between the social and the political, raising questions about the truth and its absence, the time it takes to appear, and whether its appearance comes at the right time or too late.
The short introduction of the novel reveals this central question, as the author says:
"The truth is absent for days, months, decades...
disappear.
The truth doesn't die, you may live tomorrow.
But what really worries me is the timing:
Will it show up in time, or too late?"
The back cover provides an entrance to the atmosphere of the novel through a surprising scene that opens the door to its events:
"In the morning, the people of the neighborhood saw in the garbage can what they had never imagined, neither in dreams nor in nightmares! The surprise was amazing..."
