1:03:37Now PlayingEl Rashidi, a frequent contributor to The New York Review of Books and an editor of Bidoun, a quarterly devoted to the arts and culture of the Middle East, brings an acute eye for detail and lyrical prose to her debut novel. Tracing the coming-of-age of a young Egyptian woman, the narrative focuses on several landmark moments—her childhood during Mubarak’s rise to power and her father’s disappearance, her dawning political awareness in college, and her later budding career as a writer—that chart both the character’s maturation and Egypt’s turbulent post-Mubarak era.
