“Witty and deeply humane …unlike any other book I’ve read about the Egyptian revolution, and stands as a remarkable testament to the country’s extraordinary history and to the struggle for human freedom.”
“…at once engrossing and illuminating …this stakes a strong claim to being the definitive book to emerge from the Egyptian revolution.”
Hessler will discuss the impact of the revolution on Egyptian culture, business, and politics at a Global Café Breakfast in Los Angeles on May 13th.
Two masters discuss the writing life and their two new books at the famed cultural and community center in New York City.
