About this product
Product Information
Set amidst the turbulence of 1950s Cairo, Beer in the Snooker Club is the story of Ram Bey, an over-educated, under-ambitious young Egyptian struggling to find out where he fits in. Ram's favorite haunt is the fashionable Cairo Snooker Club, whose members strive to emulate English gentility; but his best friends are young intellectuals who devour the works of Sartre and engage in dangerous revolutionary activities to support Egyptian independence. By turns biting and comic, Beer in the Snooker Club -- the first and only book by Waguih Ghali -- became a cult classic when it was first published and remains a timeless portrait of a loveable rogue coming of age in turbulent times.

Reviews
"One of the best novels about Egypt ever written." --Adhaf Soueif "Like The Catcher in the Rye in America, [ Beer in the Snooker Club ] articulated the identity crisis of a generation. . . . [The novel] presents uncanny parallels to today's Egypt, where artists, intellectuals and youth at large are beginning to fashion a new cultural republic of sorts even as they also struggle to find their bearings." -- The New York Times "[Ghali is] a plainspoken writer of consummate wryness, grace and humor." -- Los Angeles Times "[The] novel reproduces a cultural state of shock with great accuracy and great humor." -- The Nation "A triumph of genuinely comic social satire." -- The Times Literary Supplement (London)

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
