Tucked away in a rundown quarter, just out of sight of downtown
Cairo, a group of intellectuals gather regularly to smoke hashish
in Hakeem's den. The den is the center of their lives, both a
refuge and a stimulus, and at the center of the den is the
remarkable man who keeps their hashish bowls topped up-Rowdy Salih.
While his former life is a mystery to his loyal clientele of
writers, painters, film directors, and even window dressers, each
sees himself reflected in Salih; but without his humor, humility,
or insight, or his occasional passions fueled by hootch. And when
the nation has to face its own demons during the peace initiative
of the 1970s, it is Rowdy Salih who speaks for them all. This is a
comic novel with a broken heart, very like Salih himself, whose
warm rough voice calls out long after we have recovered from the
novel's painful conclusion.
