Hardback Description:
This collection of fourteen connected stories and a novella, From the Secret History of Human Abdel Hafez, takes us deep into Upper Egypt and the village of Dayrut al-Sharif. To depict a world renowned for its poverty, ignorance, vendettas, and implacable code of honour, Mohamed Mustagab deploys the black humour and Swiftian sarcasm of the insider who knows his society only too well.
