No way

Writer: Youssef Zidane

As for the news that we have now, we only follow the prevailing suspicion, not verified knowledge.” - Ibn al-Nafis

The hero of this novel is an innocent and religious Egyptian-Sudanese young man who works as a tour guide in Luxor and Aswan. This young man's utmost dream was to marry a beautiful Nubian girl to begin a happy, carefree life, but his peaceful and boring lifestyle was turned upside down after an interview with Osama bin Laden in Sudan in the early 1990s.

The novel captivates us with its rapid pace, as we trace the fate of its hero from Luxor to the Gulf to Uzbekistan, then Afghanistan, and the Guantanamo prison camp. Youssef Zidane's poetic language makes us live a unique human experience, where reality mixes with imagination and we embark with the hero on a journey to discover the secrets of the soul and the world.
