Description
In 1980s Cairo, a young doctor follows a path laid out for him. Between his clinic and the prestigious practice he inherited from his father, Tarek has little room for self-doubt. But an encounter with someone seemingly his complete opposite will shake his marriage, his career, and his certainties, leaving him with no other choice but exile.
From the Levantine community in Egypt to Montreal winters, from Nasser's reign to the dawn of the 2000s, Tarek flees, wanders, and remembers. But does he know that thousands of kilometers away, someone is piecing together the fragments of his story and trying to retrace, chapter by chapter, the course of his life?
A story of absence and reconciliation, What I know about you Delicately, humorously, and sensitively paints a portrait of a fractured clan and a society in the throes of transformation. This debut novel by Éric Chacour reveals an author with a refined style and a luminous mind.
