Mahmud Darwish's tribute to Muhammad Al-Maghut. Mahmud Darwish: how he plays with words, in poetry and in prose. If Adonis wants Nobel, as Al-Maghut used to say. Darwish deserves more than Nobel. Much more, although I am not crazy about his politics, or his past association with `Arafat. `Arafat killed Naji Al-`Ali, the great cartoonist. How can I forget that?
