More about the book

Set in a nameless Middle Eastern city, the narrative revolves around a bumbling governor and inept revolutionaries, both embodying the concept of "jokers." The main characters—Karim, Omar, Heykal, and Urfy—are free spirits who recognize the absurdity of those in power. They devise a clever plan to inject humor into public life, highlighting the folly of both the government and the revolutionaries. Through their antics, the story explores themes of incompetence and the power of laughter in the face of oppression.
