Umthamo wamabali uphela usisiqulatho esingaphezulu okanye esincinci esifanayo sokujikeleza izimvo, imvakalelo, useto okanye iiplani. ULisa iholide udlalile ukubhala Incwadi yamabali egqiba ukubhala inoveli Kwinqanaba layo lokugqibela, kubumbano lwasemoyeni lwabalinganiswa, kulandelelwano lweziganeko ezijikeleze umhlaba omabini zazihlala kwiiprism ezimbini ezahlukileyo eziyeyona isymmetry efanayo yehlabathi.
Phakathi kuka-2003 no-2011 besihlala kuloo mfazwe ikude e-Iraq. Kude isazela sasentshona, kodwa okwenyani kanye xa kungene iimeko, umdla kunye neziphumo. Kwaye malunga nemfazwe, okanye ngesizathu sokungqubana kwemfazwe, le noveli yakhiwe, eyincwadi yokubhala kunye ne-thesis yayo, i-asymmetric antithesis kunye ne-synthesis synthesis. Ngamanye amagama, amabali amabini abhalwe njenge "Insentatez" kunye ne "Locura" agcina ngokudibanisa kwisiphelo apho ingxelo ebalisa ngempazamo ithatha intsingiselo ekhethekileyo.
Mhlawumbi eyona njongo iphambili yombhali kweli candelo lencwadana kukujongana nemibono emininzi malunga nendlela yethu yokuphila yangoku. Kubalinganiswa apha naphaya, kumacala omabini esipili, siyonwabele imibono malunga nothando kunye nomnqweno oqulathwe kuAlice kunye nombhali uEzra Blazer, kunye nokuhamba koluntu olwenza ukuthanda nokuhambisa yonke into kwiingcinga ezingafunekiyo malunga nempumelelo njenge ekuphela kwendlela yokuqonda italente.

Imfazwe yase-Iraq iqhubeka ngokungaqhelekanga nokudideka apho imikhosi ekhululayo ibonakala ngathi ithatha indawo yomkhosi. Ewe, umfana onje ngo-Amar, ummi wase-US kodwa osuka kwilizwe elongquzulanayo, uya kuba ngomnye wabo bangamaxhoba.
Imeko ezimbini ezahlukileyo kakhulu, enkosi kumthamo omnandi wokubaliswa, ubambekayo kwaye kwangaxeshanye ucebisa kubunzulu bobulumko nakwipolitiki, ubamba kwaye usimema ukuba sifumane la manqaku omanyano agqibela ngokubonisa ubumbano olugqibela ngokubonisa umdibaniso ohambelanayo yeengcinga malunga namandla, ubulungisa, amabhongo kunye nokuqonda ukuba abantu banokuthetha ntoni namhlanje.
