Things I Didn't Know I Loved*
* If you are a dreamer, come in.
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer...
If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire
For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
Come in! Come in!
(Shel Silverstein)

Ahmed Al-Aidy
I'm not actually sure I love him yet. But I've heard plenty of interesting things about his (hmm, can a book be called a sleeper hit?)
ان تكون عباس العبد , now translated (by Humphrey Davies) as Being Abbas el-Abd.
And I'll be soon be finding out. On Wednesday, the American University in Cairo's English & Comparative Literature Department will be hosting a reading by Al-Aidy as part of their (often but not always interesting) Emerging Creative Voices Series.
So that's:
Ahmed Al-Aidy
Wednesday 22nd March
AUC Blue Room on the Greek Campus
5.30pm
(Image nicked from signandsight.)After that, at 7pm, you can mosey over to the Townhouse Gallery to check out:
...part of their Borrowed Film Series (aka: films you would never otherwise see in Cairo).
The IMDB synopsis begins: 'Safe has been described as a "horror movie of the soul", a description that director Todd Haynes relishes.'
A user review is titled: 'Seen it several times, and still don't know what to think.'
Intriguing, non?
Roll on Wednesday!
