The Director is a novel that reimagines the Sumerian epic Gilgamesh in a contemporary setting, combining timeless themes with current global crises through this modern adaptation. The story addresses pressing issues, such as the destruction of the oceans, the Armenian genocide, corruption at its highest levels, and the predatory greed that threatens the planet, including the situation of Syrian refugees.
The novel explores how these crises reflect humanity's current trajectory and its impact on the future, while also dealing with the central theme of immortality, just as in the original Epic of Gilgamesh, and raising questions about the legacy humanity seeks to leave.
