The Diaries of Waguih Ghali (Volume 2: 1966-68): An Egyptian Writer in the Swinging Sixties
Editat de May Hawasen Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 iul 2017
Waguih Ghali (1930?-69), author of the acclaimed novel Beer in the Snooker Club, was a libertine, sponger, and manic depressive, but also an extraordinary writer, a pacifist, and a savvy political commentator. Covering the last four years of his life, Ghali's Diaries offer an exciting glimpse into London's swinging sixties. Volume 2 of the Diaries covers the period from 1966 to 1968. Moving from West Germany to London and Israel, and back in memory to Egypt and Paris, the entries boast of endless drinking, countless love affairs, and of mingling with the dazzling intellectuals of London, but the Diaries also critique the sinister political circles of Jerusalem and Cairo, describe Ghali's trepidation at being the first Egyptian allowed into Israel after the 1967 War, and confess in detail the pain and difficulties of writing and exile.
Including an interview conducted by Deborah Starr, with Ghali's cousin, former director of UNICEF-Geneva, Samir Basta.
