This cultural approach seeks in the narrative blog "Bookseller Murder" Saad Mohammed Rahim To investigate its narrative worlds and dive into its depths to reveal the importance of the intellectual who imposed his emotional presence On the map of thought and the topography of culture, it is a pure individual experience that derives its specificity from the glow of the active ego, and its distinction is inspired by the brilliance of the self that is aware of interacting with the products of thought. And to reveal the existing contradictions between ideological awareness and social life that emerged in light of the transformations witnessed by Arab societies in general and Iraqis in particular. Which emptied the self from its cultural entity and became just a transcendent awareness of the supposed reality in light of the cultural penetration practiced by cultural globalization As a dangerous and effective weapon, the East has become a part of the West and has not been treated as a stable pole with its cultural specificity for thousands of years.

Balance between the promises of development and the hope of national unity, and for that the intellectual fell victim to his dreams of creating his own YouTube, away from the facts of reality, and became burdened with an infinite sense of defeat and failure. And failure in the midst of a world full of crises, which led to his feeling of alienation and internal rupture, and the feeling of identity became an obsession for the cultural hero in light of a rapidly changing world that was molded and unstable after the events of 2003 This led to a loss of confidence in his references in which he believed, and to a stage of defeat and a sense of uselessness He falls victim to a backward reality to live on the edge of marginalization and social exclusion and his exclusion from the dominant class.
