The Desolate Time (Arabic: الزمن الموحش, romanized: Az-Zaman Al-Muwḥesh) is a 1973 novel by Syrian writer Ḥaidar Ḥaidar.
[2] The cultured characters in the novel reject tradition and embrace looking at the present in the light of the future, and they represent the secular stance.
The protagonist uses stream-of-consciousness techniques to narrate the story through recollections and dreams of her experiences and the experiences of her comrades among the loitering and loss they live through, swinging between ideological theorizing, alcohol, and women.
