The Zafarani Files di Gamal al Ghitani

I gave up on this about a third of the way through in November 2018. It was insufficiently interesting and the female characters were just ravenous sex receptacles.

Pyramid Texts: A Modern Arabic Novel (Modern Arabic… di Gamal al-Ghitani

Random discovery in the used book section at the bookstore, and given my growing interests in Cairo and the pyramids, I had to pick it up.

A series of chapters that are really short stories but read like a novel - all linked by an obsession with or a dependence on the pyramids. Scholars, explorers, lovers, and climbers. What secrets are revealed to them about/through the pyramids?

This was lovely. Each chapter tended to be shorter and shorter, until the final chapters were more like poetry. Mystical and mysterious - a good find.… (altro)

The Zafarani Files: An Egyptian Novel (Modern Arabic… di Gamal al-Ghitani

Feel like a satirical romp in Cairo? This is the book. Just when the marvelous character descriptions of the folks living in Zafarani Alley were beginning to seem a bit tedious.....zing! Major plot development takes the story to a new level. Basically this is about a universe inside a universe inside a universe, all of which are consistently absurd, and which seem filled with more conflict than resolution....until the Sheikh shakes things up for all! Excellent read!

الزيني بركات di جمال الغيطاني

هناك اعمال ادبية لا تنسى ...هكذا هو تصنيفها

ببساطة لان اخر مرة تملكت فيها رواية "الزينى بركات" فى يدى فى ظل قاعة القراءة فى مكتبة عامة كان منذ 8 سنوات...فكيف تفسر اذا انى اذكر تفاصيلها بهذا الوضوح بينما اجاهد فى تذكر ذلك الكتاب الذى قرأته من 3 شهور

الزينى بركات رواية للزمن...تعاد تفاصيلها مرة تلو الاخرى من حولك فى دهشة للرأى...تذكرها ايام الثورة...تذكرها عند اقتحام امن الدولة..و اتذكرها الان

ربما السبب ان الغيطانى يثبت لك ان مصر هى سلسلة كاملة من الاحداث و اعادة الاحداث ...اننا لسنا وحدنا فى هذا الزمن و ان اشباح الماضى من شخصيات عانت مثلنا تماما مرت من هنا

و يمر على قول هيجل:"الحقيقة الوحيدة التي نتعلمها من التاريخ هي: ( ان لا احد يتعلم من التاريخ"! ....هكذا ببساطة

فكونك تقرأ "الزينى بركات" لا يزودك فقط بحبكة ادبية ممتعه او تلاعب رائع بالخطوط الدرامية ....بل يطمئنك ان هذا البلد كان دائما قادرا على دحر خصومة و ربما يمنحك الامل...او يجعلك تطلقها اخيرا: واضح ان مفيش فايدة من زمااان قوى
:D
