4. Opinions from Keynote Arab Writers:
1. Writer {Osama Anwar Okasha}, wrote:
Writer Lubna Mahmoud Yassin surprised me with her first story
collection that has been titled “Against the Tide”. Surprise is the only
impression which stresses merit and good literature and writing is the
one that surprises you and arouse the magical mix of response with
mind and senses that touch the hearts. This is what I perceived in
Lubna’s stories. Lubna Yassin…. Stop infront of this name…. tuned
to and monitor this name. She is a promising writer and we will read
more from her.
2. Writer {Fatheya Al Asal; Head of the Egyptian Women Writers},
wrote:
Syrian writer Lubna Yassin in her first story collection “Against the
Tide” asserts that she is a writer with wonderful approach and the
most important characteristic of this writer is her bias to simple
people. Thus, she takes the nectar from simple people and makes
good art. All greetings and love from me to Lubna. I am quite
confident that she will make a great writer in the future.
3. Writer {Mahfouz Abdel Rahman}, wrote:
First experience is always critical. It introduces us to people but at the
same time put us in dilemma as it is difficult to really know writers
from their first experienceunless thw writer is really innovative like
Lubna Yassin in her first story “Against the Tide”. Certainly, when
she writes her second collection of stories, she will be more firmly
established. She currently has significant capacities and the story
which topped her collection “Saber’s Death” (Mawt Saber), has
categorized her among the well-established writers. It is the first and
most beautiful collection.
