References in the novel A Town in a Box by Hamid Fadel

Abstract

    Literary works naturally go back to extended roots that generate a storehouse of knowledge for humans. The origin of these roots is the reference in the singular and plural, references and references. References: Every writing begins from a fertile ground that is the seed upon which the idea is built. Literary reference constitutes an important tributary of creativity, as it is the first lines. Which the writer draws inspiration over time, they are learned lessons and lessons that the writer memorizes whenever he wants, and draws them and brings them out with a new ornament by weaving them, pruning and refining the knowledge he acquires and reformulating it with great craftsmanship, and the novel A Town in a Box is full of a large store of references.

    The writer found rich material from it that supported and supported his literary experience, and added to it everything new and innovative. Therefore, the concept of reference in contemporary Arab culture differs from one researcher to another, depending on the differences in the researchers’ ideology and the multiplicity of their positions within the limits of heritage and its components, and most researchers agree that the reference is heritage. This heritage belongs to the past time, but they differ after that in defining this past. Some of them see that heritage is everything that has reached us from the distant past, and heritage on this basis is everything that

we have inherited historically and that it is everything that has reached us from the past within the prevailing civilization.
