The girl inside the painting This book is 130 pages of Twana Amin’s story collection. It was published in 2009, by the Qalam Center in Sulaimanyah. The novelist Karwan Omer Kaka-Sur wrote the introduction for the book, and part of it says: “Writing is not to create the world; it is an attempt to destroy this world. This is an opinion that I believe we reached in the result of literary study about the second generation after the uprising (TN: The Novelist refers to the Kurdish uprising that took place in 1991, against the former Iraqi regime). Twana Amin is one of those known voices from the second generation. This author, as much as he intends to destroy his own life, is not attempting in building it.”
