Summary Annotation As the Egyptian revolution unfolded throughout 2011 and the ensuing years, no one was better positioned to comment on itand try to push it in productive directionsthan best-selling novelist and political commentator Alaa Al-Aswany. For years a leading critic of the Mubarak regime, Al-Aswany used his weekly newspaper column for "Al-Masry Al-Youm "to propound the revolution s ideals and to confront the increasingly troubled politics of its aftermath.This book presents, for the first time in English, all of Al-Aswany s columns from the period, a comprehensive account of the turmoil of the post-revolutionary years, and a portrait of a country and a people in flux. Each column is presented along with a context-setting introduction, as well as notes and a glossary, all designed to give non-Egyptian readers the background they need to understand the events and figures that Al-Aswany chronicles. The result is a definitive portrait of Egypt todayhow it got here, and where it might be headed."
