Revelation Narratives in the Time of the Syrian Revolution

Is it appropriate to mock in the face of scenes of death, destruction, and unprecedented violence? The texts of this book provide a definitive answer to this question: yes, absolutely. Furthermore, it insists that satire may be the optimal choice for exposing sharp contradictions that cannot be captured by any other means. The scenes, overall, resemble the autobiographies of both writers. However, they depict a biography of disappointment and betrayal that extends beyond their individual experiences. It encompasses an entire nation corroded by corruption and oppression for decades, where repair or patching is no longer effective. In both cases, a revolution is necessary to uncover the buried foundations and build anew upon them.
