- Symbolic meaning: Literary analysis suggests the title is a symbolic reference to the author's narrative technique, known as hitsenawinet( ህጽናዊነት). In this style, stories are interwoven to fill narrative "gaps" in the same way that a rich gravy (mereq) flows into the holes of injera (Ethiopian flatbread).
- Plot and characters: Mereq is Adam Reta's second long-form novel, and it was published in 2007 E.C. (2014/2015 G.C.). It is a complex narrative that explores themes characteristic of Reta's writing, often linked to existentialism.
