The Yacoubian Building: A Novel Alaa Al Aswany
Publisher:

The Yacoubian Building, the bestselling novel by Alaa Al Aswany, foreshadows the inevitable onset of this modern revolution. It is a bit like 'A Fine Balance'- almost everything bad that can happen in India happens to the four likeable protagonists of Rohington Mistry's novel. The Yacoubian Building is a novel by Alaa Al Aswany, translated by Denys Humphrey Davies and made into film by Marwan Hamed - the biggest budget ever for an Egyptian film. In Alaa al Aswany's book, The Yacoubian Building, Islamism and Islamists are primarily presented through the point of view of the character Taha El Shazli, the son of a doorman who lives on the roof of the Yacoubian building. It also makes it pretty surprising that his intriguing new novel, follow-up to The Yacoubian Building, should be a tale of campus life at the University of Chicago. One minute you want to buy a plane ticket, the next you are horrified - or terrified. No one exposed these secrets as did Alaa Al Aswany in his award-winning novel, The Yacoubian Building.

It's hard to find popular Arabic (or Middle Eastern in general) novels translated into English, which makes the Alaa Al Aswany's Yacoubian Building a perfect opportunity to read an Arabic novel. The work is not a polemic for a neo-con think-tank but a novel, The Yacoubian Building, by the Egyptian writer Alaa al-Aswany. Richness of description and characterisation helps make The Yacoubian Building a first-class novel. Yet unlike Mistry's book, the Yacoubian building does not end in despair. Your first book is Alaa Al Aswany's The Yacoubian Building. It was inevitable the book turned into the most anticipated and expensive Arabic movie ever made. I was late in writing about this novel, this new miracle in the history of Egypt's literature but too late is better than never.
