Foundation launches three new literary publications

By PR News Desk 05/05/2025

The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) unveiled a new series of literary

publications covering the genres of fiction, humanitarianism, and emotion, during its participation in the Abu
Dhabi International Book Fair 2025. The latest works originate from the Dubai International Program for
Writing (DIPW), one of MBRF’s key knowledge initiatives aimed at supporting and empowering young talents

in the writing and literary fields.

The new publications include three novels written by young authors who graduated from the DIPW’s Novel

Writing workshop held in Jordan. These pieces traverse a range of narrative trajectories by combining bold
storytelling with in-depth analysis. The first of these novels, The Memory of Salt by author Walaa Abazeid,
presents a poignant and poetic tale of the psychological impacts of war, narrating a story of a young Syrian

woman named Ayoul. The narrative explores the way she grapples with loss and displacement, suffers the
bitterness of refuge, and encounters adversity with hope and courage.

The second novel, The Game of Seats, by writer Raghad Zayed, delves into the realm of emotional
literature, highlighting the deep psychological effects of traumatic childhood experiences. It narrates the story
of Fouad, his childhood wounds, and his journey towards healing and finding inner peace amidst love, pain,

and psychological therapy.
