Behind the bar at Jameel's in Cairo hang two mugs engraved with the
names of Ram and Font. During their years together in London, they
drank many a pint of Bass from these mugs. But there is no Bass in
Nasser's Egypt, so Ram and Font have to make do with a heady
mixture of beer, vodka and whisky. Yearning for Bass they long to
be far from a revolution that neither serves the people nor allows
their rich aunts to live the life of leisure they are accustomed
to. Stranded between two cultures, Ram and Font must choose between
dangerous political opposition and reluctant acquiescence. First
published in 1964, Beer in the Snooker Club is a classic of the
literature of emigration.
