About the book

Zamalek, Cairo, a Thursday in October. A young man with a cut above his eye comes up in the lift of a fourth-floor flat, says he is a friend of the son of the house and the child of a screen legend nobody has photographed since 1985, and by midnight he has cooked dinner, closed a sale nobody could close, and been put to bed in the son's room. Nothing is stolen. Nayera Doss told the story at a dozen dinner parties that autumn, and twenty months later she is telling it again, to you, and it is very funny until the bill for that evening arrives four hundred kilometers south, on somebody who was never in the room.
