"Diaries from Old Egypt" is both a diary and a prose-poem; it is both memoir and fiction. Following the thoughts of a young woman in Egypt in the two years before the January 25th revolution, Justine Ariel explores romance and idealism in the cities of Cairo and Alexandria. Fragments of fictional stories are woven among notes about religion, politics, architecture, ancient history, cafe culture, and, of course, love.
