Summary

Alaa Al Aswany: On the state of Egypt

The author focuses on current events in Egypt.
In Alaa Al Aswany's novels and short stories, the characters struggle with class differences, police brutality, poverty, sexual harassment and political corruption; now, in a new collection of weekly newspaper columns previously published in Arabic, Al Aswany considers the same issues plaguing modern Egyptian society. He has a lot to say about one of the most pressing questions on everyone's mind: who will be the next president of Egypt and how will he be chosen? He discusses the moral ambiguity of appointed politicians, the appropriateness of democratic reforms in a Muslim society, and the inherent contradiction in the actions of a religious policeman who tortures or a man who abuses women. Critical, controversial and simple, Al Aswany asks his government to serve the people, and from the people to demand what they deserve.

The book is in English.
