I Know Many Songs, But I Cannot Sing de Brian Kiteley

I Know Many Songs, But I Cannot Sing

Autor Brian Kiteley
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 ian 1996
From the author of Still Life with Insects comes a contemporary tale of an unlikely connection between an American historian and an Armenian theater critic on the streets of Cairo.

While in Cairo, Ib, an American historian and translator crosses paths with an Armenian-born theater critic and drama teacher, Gamal-Leon. Gamal-Leon begins to trace Ib's every step, playing practical jokes on him in an effort to challenge Ib's easygoing view on life.

Examining the balance between contemporary Egypt and western culture, Kiteley shares a tale of two strangers roaming through the night as he takes readers on an entrancing trip of forgiveness as Ib learns to swim against the tide.

Descriere

In Cairo, an American named Ib encounters an Armenian named Gamal-Leon, who begins to follow Ib as a joke one evening toward the end of Ramadan, the period when Muslims fast by day and feast by night. As the two strangers roam the night, the readers swim with Ib against a tide of mistranslation and rumor thst submerges them in an almost hallucinatory experience of foreignness.
