South's Tragic Memory
Afeef Diab’s novel *Peugeot 504*, published by Dar al-Farabi in 2026 and spanning 207 pages, portrays the lives of Maryam and the residents of a southern village amid Israeli attacks between 1969 and 1982. It follows Maryam’s transformation from an illiterate woman into a defender of Marxist thought. Diab blends descriptive narration with dialogue to depict ideological conflicts among the Baathists, the communists, and the Palestine Liberation Organization, while the car symbolizes detention, displacement, and the tragedy of the people of the south. The reading concludes that the novel confronts tragedy without resorting to fantasy, leaving open questions about its ending and what lies ahead.
