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.
