If an Egyptian Cannot Speak English by Noor Naga

4.0

the ppl who think this book is bad bc the boy from shobrakheit was an abusive misogynist were reading this half asleep, like yes that’s kind of the point, he’s not supposed to be a good person, get out of ur eurocentric lens it talks so much at length about the author’s struggle to reconcile between these two clashing cultures, ur literally the annoying ppl in the writing workshop at the end. Also the split narrative isn’t that hard to follow
