Saudi writer Wafaa Ahmed approaches the expression of her creative vision from a distinct perspective, blending poetry and narrative to craft her texts. She engages in a literary genre—"cross-genre writing"—that, while perhaps not widely prevalent in Arabic literature, has nonetheless maintained a clear presence. This style emerged prominently in the early 20th century through figures such as May Ziade, Gibran Khalil Gibran, Mustafa Sadiq al-Rafi'i, Thuraya Malhas, Fouad Suleiman, Al-Manfaluti, Hussein Afif, and others whose work merged poetry with prose; this presence arguably expanded through the feminist writings of the 20th century and the dawn of the third millennium. Wafaa Ahmed continues this tradition with her debut book, *Thartharat Nakira* (Chatter of a Nobody)—published by the Arab Literature Center (1447 AH / 2025)—in which she weaves her personal presence and emotional self with depth and a unique vision. Through this title, she gives voice to a self that recounts a succession of realistic and emotional scenes and situations, using language that invites contemplation and discovery. Describing her work, she writes: "These words do not hail from a lofty station, nor did they issue from a mouth polished by stardom; rather, they are the remnants of a conversation to which no one listened. Thus, the self was compelled to write itself down to avoid getting lost in the corners of marginalization. These are not chapters, but the scribbles of those who sat in the back row, watching the world speak while silence swallowed them whole." She addresses the reader with a concise, potent statement: "If you see something of yourself in this chatter, do not be surprised; for when 'nobodies' write, they lay the world bare in its true form." The author delves further into exploring her creative self through the book’s seventy-seven texts, focusing on imagined instructions addressed to the reader or precepts spanning both the real and the personal. Titles include *Marginal Notes on the Notebook of Life*, *The Handsome One in the Orbit of Sharpness*, *Precepts of a Professional Loser*, *As If I Am Living Yet Not*, *Motherhood No One Comprehends*, *Writing as Therapy Is Not Like Weeping Over Ruins*, *Biased Memory*, and *Chatter of a Nobody*—titles that signal a spirit of contemplation and inquiry. In the book’s introduction, she writes: "I did not write because I knew; rather, I was often lost and in need of a trace to guide me back to myself. Every letter in this book was born not of a desire to tell a story, but of a heavy silence that kept eroding me from within, until writing was the only path left."
