The Portrait
What Choukri asks of its bearer
The reading of Choukri begins with Sheen: an outward self that branches. At the interior, Kaf brings an interior of holding capacity; Ra brings an interior of repetition and momentum. These are the hidden weathers of the name. The Ya resolves the name: the life closes in selfhood and vocation. The work of the name is to let grateful live through every letter — so that his life takes the same shape as his name.
Mohamed Choukri (1935-2003) — Moroccan author of For Bread Alone, one of the great Arabic autobiographies.
