Sex, money & politics are the driving forces of society in this new novel from bestselling author Alaa al Aswany. A medley of Egyptian & American lives collides on the campus of the University of Illinois Medical Center in a post-9/11 Chicago, & crises of identity abound. Among the players are an atheistic anti-establishment American professor of the sixties generation, whose relationship with a younger African-American woman becomes a moving target for intolerance; a veiled Ph D candidate whose conviction in the code of her traditional upbringing is shaken by her exposure to American society; an emigre who has fervently embraced his new American identity, but who cannot escape his Egyptian roots when faced with the issue of his daughter`s `honour`; an Egyptian State Security informant who spouts religious doctrines while hankering after money & power; & a dissident student poet who comes to America with the sole aim of financing his literary aspirations, but whose experience in Chicago turns out to be more than he bargained for.
