Narration and the fantacy of reality in Thamir Maayoufs arratives

Thamir Maayouf is one of short story writers in the city of Mosul.In his short stories he paid attention to analyzing the city of Mosul where he concentrated on the relation between the rewins of the city and the contemporary man who was a subject to was fluctuated by social and political conditions. We observed the specificity of this narration in his short stories. Therefore we called them narratives instead of short stories. We also observed the writers' capability to make a fantacy out of the normal and every day life and his dependency on the character of the hero narrator who sees, hears and lives different and inconsistent cases of life in place and time, associating the ancient world, the current world and the dream world altogether. We tackled a collection of short stories which represent the 1980s period of time up to now.
