When Iman Mersal stumbles upon a great - yet forgotten - novel
written by Enayat al-Zayyat, a young woman who killed herself in
1963, four years before her book was published, Mersal begins to
research the writer. She tracks down Enayat's best friend, who had
been Egypt's biggest movie star at the time; she is given access to
Enayat's diaries. Mersal can't accept, as has been widely
speculated since Enayat's death, that a publisher's rejection was
the main reason for Enayat's suicide. From archives, Enayat's
writing, and Mersal's own interviews and observations, a remarkable
portrait emerges of a woman striving to live on her own terms, as
well as of the artistic and literary scene in post-revolution
Cairo. Blending research with imagination, and adding a great deal
of empathy, the award-winning Egyptian poet Iman Mersal has created
an unclassifiable masterpiece.
