Egyptian and American lives collide on a college campus in
post-9/11 Chicago, and crises of identity abound in the
extraordinary second novel from the highly acclaimed author of "The
Yacoubian Building." This is a story of love, sex, friendship,
hatred, and ambition, pulsating and alive with a rich and
unforgettable cast of American and Arab characters who are achingly
human in their desires and needs. Beautifully rendered, this is an
illuminating portrait of America, a complex, often contradictory
land in which triumph and failure, opportunity and oppression,
small dramas and big dreams coexist. "Chicago" is a powerfully
engrossing novel of culture and individuality from one of the most
original voices in contemporary world literature.
