="ppl">Mohaghegh on Blasim's The Madman of Freedom Square
the ="trms">story of two foreigners known as ‘the blondes’, identical twins of fair hair and complexion who come each morning (their place of o="trms"nttrm="righ,rigo,riga,rigi,trig,rign">rigin and purpose unknown) to roam down the main street of a neighborhood called the ‘Darkness District’. This quarter of the capital city is thus named for being the only sector still lacking electricity, and our nar- rator describes the residents there as physically gaunt and existentially worn down. This is an unwell place, and so the sudden arrival of the blondes re="trms">presents a contrast, a radical anomaly and an enchantment-in-waiting for a zone that otherwise wants nothing more than to lay down and give up forever. We are told that the ambiguity of their circadian walk has an immediate transformative effect on the district; though these figures never speak, they cast gentle glances upon the inhabitants on either side of the street, and this courtesy soon bears miraculous fruit as the wishes of each person, young and old, man and woman, find themselves granted. By day and by night, the Dark- ness District escapes its former wretchedness to become an increasingly scenic area, with the government finally bringing electrical power and the locals planting flow- ers and showing acts of kindness to one another…all in honour of their two strange visitors (with whom we ="trms"nttrm="already,spread">read that everyone has grown enamoured). They even build a stone monument in veneration to these silent newcomers. But then one morning the blondes do not ="trms">materialize, as a violent coup is underway that sets the district on fire with bombs and missiles; amid the fighting, our ="trms">narrator is flung against a wall, his life then saved by one of the blondes (their statue since demolished), and awakens in a mental asylum railing about the speechless aliens who rescued him (and the others)—only to find that no one has any ="trms">memory of such beings or any trust in his recol- lections of them; he later finds himself s="trms">trapped with a detonative suicide vest (the final light-bracketed image).
