… uncertainty:
“What did you say?”
“I said, what is homeland? I was asking myself that question a moment ago. Naturally. Whatis a homeland? Is it these two chairs that remained in this room for twenty years? The table? Peacock feathers? The picture of Jerusalem on the wall? The copper lock? The oak tree? The balcony? What is a homeland? Khaldoun? Our illusions about him? Fathers? Their sons?
What is a homeland? With respect to Faris al-Lubda, what is a homeland? Is it the picture of his brother hanging on the wall? I’m only asking.”
