Lesung | Was ich von dir weiß – Éric Chacour

In the organizer's words:

Cairo in the 1980s - on Tuesday, November 4, Canadian author Éric Chacour will be coming to the CCFF to read from his novel "Was ich von dir weiß / Ce que je sais de toi"!

Translated from Canadian French by Sina de Malafosse. In the shimmering Cairo of the 1980s, the path of a young doctor seems to be mapped out. Under the stern gaze of his family, Tarek continues his late father's prestigious practice. When he opens an outpatient clinic in a poor neighborhood, it feels like a stroke of liberation. There he meets Ali, a young man from the neighborhood. Their friendship is as surprising as it is uncompromising. How can someone who has so little give so much to someone who seems to have everything? A wind of freedom will shake up Tarek's certainties and turn his life upside down.

In his multi-award-winning novel, Éric Chacour tells a touching and profound story of a society torn apart, the secrets of a family and a man in search of his truth. Already a modern classic.

Éric Chacour, born in Montréal, Canada, the son of Egyptian immigrants, studied economics and international relations. He works in finance. Chacour spent ten years writing his debut, which won numerous awards.
