A coming-of-age story is given a creative twist in this intimate,
offbeat, and strangely affecting novel. The young narrator, age 11,
lives with his aged father in a disheveled furnished flat in Cairo.
Exceptionally attuned to the moods, habits, and silent yearnings of
the adults around him, the boy decides to get organized and become
an expert on adult behavior. Surreptitiously, he listens in on
adult conversations, observes adult mannerisms, and guesses about
comments he's not supposed to understand--and then he starts to
sneak into neighboring apartments to watch adults napping,
copulating, bathing, cooking, and all the other activities normal
to their lives.
