A translation of al-fuzai’s “resolution”

Khalil i. Al-fuzai (1940) is an arab writer who wrote and published few collections of stories. In his stories, he depicts arabian society in a simple, clear, and direct way (dohal 2013). “resolution” is one of his stories which addresses social issues. I translated this story because it represents a good sample of al-fuzai’s literary writing (dohal 2021 2019), telling how a man could be treated at his old age by his children.
