There is a serious group at the book fair: a complete set of borders and borders, a deeply rooted regional gathering and a single line of commerce that is repeated every season, as if the intellectual of this country was not seeing not or was not afraid to criticize them and then fight this exhibition of intellectuals.
Be a writer who does not care to punish them for depriving them of invitations that were originally distributed only to the same faces each season, as if there were no guest names other than those names since the administration had taken control of the exhibition, after leaving Dr. Abdul Aziz, the good weather came to an end. I do not want to be part of the committees that have been assigned to the owners and lovers and to the tribe. I do not care to come among you .. I'm not from the tribe, but I come from this country and the time of the politeness at its expense is over .. Especially since you have become a modern country!
Do you believe that the Poetry Prize Committee does not seat a single poet? And that the Chairman of the Committee also chairs Saudi literature at King Saud University since its inception, noting that there are in the Department of Arabic Language doctors specializing in Saudi literature. One of the most important members of this committee is a doctor, a member present in all forums and who raises questions about his recurring presence, always represented by Saudi literature in particular! It is also interesting to note here that the doctor does not even know the Saudi dialect! .. I am here and I do not underestimate them as much as I am questioning about the lack of skills of women in the position of president of Saudi literature for the members of the Committee! It is a beginning that is not competent in Saudi literature and if it has research, it is not qualified for the acquisition of what is only related to our literature! Where are Dr. Amina Al-Jabreen in narration and Dr. Mona Al-Malki in poetry? Where do they have research and studies in Saudi literature such as Doctors Manal Al-Issa, Hessa Al-Farah and Noura al-Qahtani? Why did anyone outside this circle become an official spokesperson for Saudi literature? Who gave him the absolute right to represent us at home, abroad and in media platforms? Have specialists been offered something for which they have been assigned and rejected?
Finish the tragedy! The finance director of the Saudi literature bureau has for years been managing a secret budget to which members have no access, a non-Saudi lecturer whose name is attached to all publications issued by the president.
One of the members of the committee won the ministry award and we fell silent, and one author twice the award and we fell silent. The rents are expensive, the cleanliness in the exhibition areas is annoying and quiet and the young and young entrepreneurs received only 1500 riyals for their work day and night to organize the work and we were silent. 70 million riyals!
Go to the book fairs in Sharjah, Amman, Cairo and Beirut, I will not say Frankfurt and learn, you will not find the echoes of the microphones, Not to mention the many books in the application of the exhibition , which were not available originally at the publisher.
The time of the clan has ended. The time of the tribe has come to an end .. And the time (foreign assistant of the captain) has ended .. And the time of the mercenaries has ended in some women. Most of us, women, today. We mix men's work and we can travel and attend international forums. To reduce our skills. There are many and many silent breakthroughs about them, but the change of time and no longer to fear and keep silent instead .. We will not be silent because the homeland for all and no one has preferred us .
