Correct a novel title
[td]Saud Alsanousi has delivered several literary testimonies<ref>{{Cite web |last=Alsanousi |first=Saud |date=Nov 13, 2019 |title=Why Write Arab Fiction? |url=https://www.arabamerica.com/why-write-arab-fiction/}}</ref> at various literary conferences, outlining his approach to writing and his intimate relationship with it. He views writing, especially the novel, not as a luxury or artistic indulgence, but as an existential necessity. He does not write to entertain the reader, but to resist forgetting, to endure the anxiety of existence, and to understand the world with all its contradictions and unanswered questions. He believes that fiction, through its imaginative power, is capable of expressing the truth more profoundly than reality itself. To him, the novel is the most expansive literary form, capable of absorbing history, religion, psychology, philosophy, human emotion, and all other forms of knowledge and art, then reimagining them within a narrative space broad enough to encompass the full depth of human experience.[/td] [td][/td]
[td][/td] [td]For Alsanousi, imagination is not merely a literary device; it is a refuge, a boundless freedom that real life does not offer. Through the imaginative realm of fiction, he has lived through his characters and reached parts of himself he could never access without writing. After completing his trilogy '''''The Scrolls of the City of Mud''''', describes himself as having lived on paper lives he never lived outside its pages. He embodied the weak and the strong, the killer and the victim, the believer and the atheist, the man and the woman, the child and the elder, the ant, the bird, and the tree - summoning through them diverse spiritual, social, and philosophical experiences that granted him a deeper understanding of what it means to be human.[/td]

[td][/td] [td]Alsanousi writes fiction to converse with death, to revive memory, and to craft a narrative homeland that preserves the details of Kuwait he fears may be forgotten. He believes that when a writer writes, they are not merely describing the world, they are trying to mend the fractures within themselves. He says: βI do not write because I understand the world, but because I do not, and I want to understand. I do not understand death, so I write to bring the dead to life. I write so that I may not die.β[/td]
