Mr. Dakir Abderrahmane points out to us, through his short stories and poems, that there are many key facets, aspects and perspectives to life. Dakir's stories and poems bring each one of us a sense of reformatting ourselves as individuals and as whole entities on our personal journeys through both life's ups and troublesome times. Dakir reminds us of life's basic notions and elicits from us our own internal stories, that we all share and have in common with each other, despite our differences: as individuals as well as a collective wholes. There is a somewhat grounding and sobering yet calming and dreamy effect felt through Dakir's words, which makes the read a good time to escape and enjoy a world of short stories. I hope you enjoy reading as much as Mr. Dakir enjoyed writing for you.
