Karnak Café by Naguib Mahfouz
In a bustling Cairo café that brings together people from different classes and political outlooks, the intertwined lives of its regulars—through conversations, romances, quarrels and loyalties—reveal the shifts and tensions of modern Egyptian society; as political repression mounts, arrests, betrayals and moral compromises fracture friendships and ideals, showing how authoritarianism, corruption, and fear corrode individual lives and community ties.
