*Description:
“A beauty in Dr. Z's writings is the pleasure of adopting his perspective. Clearly, this is the marked privilege of a painter who also writes. The power of his descriptions is visual, especially of structural and spatial things. His portrayal, for instance, of the beauty of the Masjid Nabawi and of the Baitullah is charming. From his narration, a picture readily emerges in the reader's mind. So, too, when he wonders whether the abandoned and unfinished spiral staircase blocking a public pathway is in fact a piece of sculpture, a strange metaphor of something unsettling.”
"Suatu daripada keindahan dan kesegaran dalam tulisan Dr. Z ialah nikmat menyoroti perspektifnya. Ternyata inilah kelebihan seniman seni tampak yang juga seniman sastera. Deskripsinya selalu berdaya visual, terutama yang melibatkan struktur dan ruang. Misalnya, pelukisan tentang betapa indahnya Masjid Nabawi dan Baitullah serta aura yang bangkit daripadanya, mendorong pembaca menterjemah kalimat-kalimat menjadi imej mental yang jelas di layar minda. Begitu juga dengan puing tangga pusing yang terbengkalai di kawasan laluan awam, tergambar sebagai sebuah arca yang membekaskan metafora yang aneh dan menyentap."
