Have you ever read about an author who had written a whole book about his hand and its pains? It is a novel subject which perhaps only Dr. Dahesh had tackled.
This book is a collection of lyrical pieces, most of which are rhymed, in which the author expresses over a period of three years the pains of his hand as a result of his delipidating fall in the spring of 1976.
The extraordinary ability of Dr. Dahesh appears in his “anatomy of the feelings of grief” However, his work is not cofined to an anlysis of his pain, for he ascribes the painful fall, the continuation of pain, and the lack of any cure at the physicians' hands to the principle of divine justice. Then soon you find him raising his supplications to God, his last refuge, that He may have mercy on him and heal his hand.
