The Magnificent Conman of Cairo
A Novel
Rediscovered gem available in English for the first time. Originally published in Arabic in the 1940's the year that Camus', The Stranger was published. Satirical, at the vanguard, it was heralded at the time by Naguib Mahfouz, a contemporary, but then lost until republished in Arabic in 2014 when it found a cult following.Called Egypt's Literary Gem by Sherif Abdel Samad in Mada Masr https://madamasr.com/en/2016/01/31/feature/culture/egypts-literary-gems-malim-the-great/Chosen by Nael Eloukhy in

Über den Autor
Adel Kamel (1916-2005) was an Egyptian novelist, short story writer, and playwright. He was a founding member of the informal harafish writers' collective that included such eminent writers as Nobel Laureate Naguib Mahfouz and Salah Jahin. He was considered to be at the vanguard of his generation, leading the push toward realism in Arabic literature, and many critics recognize the importance of his legacy as a radical writer.
