هرّة سيكيريدا
رضوان ابن الصدفة. لا يُعرف له والد. أحصى زملاؤه عدد الرجال الذين نامت معهم والدته الخادمة الأثيوبيّة، سيكيريدا، فكانوا عشرين رجلاً. لولا أن الماما أديبة، السيدة التي تعمل سيكيريدا لديها، قامت بتزويجها إبراهيم لساعات قليلة كي يعطي اسمه للطفل، لبقي لقيطاً بدون نسب.
حين وافق أن يجرّ أمل الفتاة المشلولة إلى المدرسة، مقابل بعض المال، لم يكن يعلم أن الطريق سينحرف إلى شاطىء البحر ليلاصق جسمها جسمه وينام معها. ولأنه لا يعرف شيئاً عن العادة الشهريّة باتت أمل حبلى.
اعتقدت الفتاة أن رضوان هرب واختفى بعد أن أخبرته بحبلها، ليتبيّن أنه مخطوف في الشرقيّة. لكن، ماذا عن الطفل الراقد في أحشاء أمل؟ ربما، يعيد التاريخ نفسه، ويكون أبو إبراهيم حلاً مناسباً.

قرأت لرشيد الكثير من الروايات و لا أدري لماذا أصرّ على تعذيب نفسي و تضييع وقتي. لا أفكر في قراءة المزيد له. رواية ضعيفة و كعادة رواياته لابد من حضور الجنس و الفضيحة و كأن لا شيء يستحق الكتابة غيرهما.

ظريفة! تدور احداث الرواية خلال الحرب الاهلية في لبنان. محور الرواية هو الابن مجهول الأب "رضوان" المولود نتيجة لعلاقات الخادمة أمه "سيكيريدا" العاملة في شقة امرأة لبنانية، ويخطف رضوان نتيجة للاحداث الدائرة هناك بعد ان يقوم بعلاقة مع مراهقة لتصبح حبلى منه وتتمسك بابنها..
" العار على من يعمل العار! العار على من يخطف! العار على من يغتصب! العار على من يسرق! العار على الفاسدين المهربين المتاجرين بأنواع المخدرات القاتلة وبأجساد الصبايا والأولاد! أرض لبنان لم تعد من تراب بل من جثث، ويتكلمون عن عار إذا خرجت فتاة عمّا يتوقعون. يأكلون لحوم بعضهم البعض وتكلمني عن العار؟"
