This is Samir Sobhy's second poetry book in Arabic and contains poetry in colloquial Egyptian Arabic. The reason for choosing this form of Arabic is its flexibility (as opposed to the rigidity of classical Arabic), which allows for wide possibilities in manipulating the language for the purpose of humor and satire: the two characteristics of this book.

Though somewhat of a tale, this is not an adventure, but rather a psychological presentation of a sudden,...
