The Residual Tourist Haitham Alsarraf

Mr. Nobody is a mess. At least, that is what he likes to call himself. Divorced, middle-aged and from a country where it is hard to be single, Mr. Nobody is a lonely but blunt writer venturing in picaresque form to find himself by way of drowning and resurfacing in the characters and cultures he intersects with. He leaves residual traits of himself behind while collecting some through the people and situations he tours, whether the places are the crazed country of Kuwait, the hustle and bustle of Dubai or the relaxed American state of Colorado. Mr. Nobody is a perceptive traveler but a compulsively temporary--residual--resident in all he encounters.
