Dubai, November, 2008:
Dubai Press Club has hosted Marwa Kreidieh Lebanese women writer on the occasion of the launch of the new book, reflecting the author deep anxieties about the present they live in and offering alternative and even rebellious perspective on the contemporary situation in the world.
Marwa Kreidieh, a strong opponent of violence in all its forms and ideological moorings, has said her book, “Rebellious Ideas: On Thought, Culture and Politics,” is an attempt at questioning the received wisdom on different aspects of life in our times, including religion and culture. The book, published by The Sun Foundation for Media and Publishing, Cairo, is a collection of creative writings that defy easy categorization.
On her part, kreidieh said her book was not an attempt at pushing any ideological positions, but simply an outpouring of scattered thoughts and ideas that penetrate the contemporary lived realities of the society. “It is a rather affectionate critique of the society, without any pretentions to being an academic treatise or research publication. I am even willing to say it has many contradictions and repetitions, for contradictions actually complement integrity, of thought and action,” she pointed out.
The gathering included media persons, literary aficionados and friends and fans of the writer.
