Marwa Kreidieh, a strong opponent of violence in all its forms and ideological moorings, has said her book, "Rebellious Ideas: On Thought, Culture and Politics," is an attempt at questioning the received wisdom on different aspects of life in our times, including religion and culture. The books, published by The Sun Foundation for Media and Publishing,
Cairo, are a collection of creative writings that defy easy categorization. Both the books are marked by a spirit of creative rebellion and genuine anguish, but the "passages of the soul" reflect her human and universal identity
On her part, Kreidieh said her book was not an attempt at pushing any ideological positions, but simply an outpouring of scattered thoughts and ideas that penetrate the contemporary lived realities of the society. "It is a rather affectionate critique of the society, without any pretentions to being an academic treatise or research publication. I am even willing to say it has many contradictions and repetitions, for contradictions actually complement integrity, of thought and action," she pointed out.

The gathering included media persons, literary aficionados and friends and fans of the writer.
