The initial spark for this book’s concept came from research I did for a doctorate degree that was approved in 2017. During that research, I looked at, dissected, and attempted to understand the structural pillars of a sample of the novelist’s work from the 1980s to the third millennium in an effort to rationalize and understand the issues and themes of the novel that accompanied the Saudi novel-writing process and marked the problems and themes of the novel that accompanied the process of the Saudi novel, and marked it with the features of its environment and concerns, in terms of its intersection with the deliberative field of my specialization in sociology.
Despite the overlap and cognitive entanglements between literature and sociology (epistemology), as each of them represents a reflection of man’s shadow on his reality, the problem of his existence, and its complexities, and conditions, it has never been - to the best of my knowledge - for any sociologists. In the Kingdom’s cultural sphere, addressing this relationship, putting it through a specialized, systematic scientific study, and researching the origins and their sociological extensions, as well as its effects on the social scene and its phenomena, was what inspired and encouraged me to set out on this adventure and delve into the depths of literature sociology and social discourse analysis. The emotional engagement of self-mind and thinking with the novel’s literature, as well as the researcher’s persistent drive to come up with new routes that contribute to the balance of cognitive effectiveness, are other reasons and causes of this trace.
