Ayoub, Colonialism
and Palestine
Aiub. Ioug. Ayub. Ainou. Aiou. I had the same difficulty pronouncing her Arabic name as I had understanding that our love wasn’t possible in an impossible world.
This name came to destroy, in some way, my West.
Initially, this project was intended to save a man in a vulnerable situation, and for that man to save me from loneliness. I traveled to Tangier (Morocco) to find him, marry him, give him my Europeanized South American papers, and then create a new work based on that.
But Ayoub appeared, and the project collapsed. His name (“the returnee” or “the repentant”) is very popular in Islamic countries: 615 children of that name were murdered by the Zionist state of Israel in the Gaza Strip.
For those dead, I name this work after you, about colonialism, about Palestine.
And everything I want to kill inside me.
