Galal Amin's "Whatever Happened to the Egyptians" was one of the first books I read when I arrived in Egypt and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I believe it is a book that any expat interested in Egypt should read to have a better understanding of his host country. Its sequel "Whatever (else) happened to the Egyptians" is also worth reading. Galal Amin will give a lecture entitled "What life taught me" tomorrow, Wednesday September 9 at 9:30 PM at the Goethe Institute in Cairo - 17, Sharia Hussein Wassef - Midan El-Wissaha, Dokki. The talk will be in Arabic with English translation.
Another book I read and enjoyed was Al Khamissi's "Taxi". To celebrate the publication of the French translation of the book and to discuss about his new work, the French Cultural Centre in Mounira is organizing a meeting with the author at 9:00 PM. As far as I understood, the talk will be in French only.
