The description of a city in the implementation of a fictional universe: the image of Paris in Soraya in coma

The novel today has become a very calculated genre. Nothing is left to chance in the fictional world of today and we are very far from the novels where the description of the space was a simple ornamental detail to set the story somewhere in a given space. The description in the contemporary novel is an important element of the romantic variety and it seems to be not only very subservient to its former rival, the narration, but we could also say that the distinction between description and narration tends to a kind of active cooperation.It is in such collaboration with the narrative that the description of the city of Paris starts in Ismael Fassih's Soraya in coma. The novel depicts an active description that represents the city of Paris in its objective side while revealing the inner feelings of the descriptor with his subjective inclinations. In addition, this narrative description supports the body of the novel by constantly recalling the narrative in an indirect way.
