When the reality that we see is not real? What actually happened? Serina is a Hong Kong university fresh graduate who witnesses shocking atrocities in Egypt and then in Hong Kong. As the events unfolded, she later found out something went wrong in her mind. She has mental issues. She discovers that most of what she has experienced in life are delusions. One shock after another deteriorates her mental health until she is no more able to discern reality from delusion. Eventually, she realizes that among all her delusions, the atrocities she has witnessed are the only reality that cannot be denied or dismissed as hallucinations. Should she continue her medication as prescribed? Or can she live a normal life without dependent on medication? 

 

Dr Sayed Gouda was born in Cairo and moved to Hong Kong in 1992 where he currently resides. He did his undergraduate studies in Egypt and China, majoring in Chinese, and received his PhD in comparative literary studies from the City University of Hong Kong in 2014. His research interests include comparative literature, comparative cultural studies, and translation studies. Gouda is a published poet, novelist, and translator. He is the Editor-in-Chief of a multi-lingual e-magazine called Nadwah for poetry in translation (www.arabicnadwah.com). From 2004 to 2010, he organised a monthly literary salon in Hong Kong.
