Product Information
We've
been doing the same thing for hundreds of years. Marching, fighting,
chanting, dying, changing, winning, losing, marching, fighting,
chanting, dying, marching, chanting, planning, failing, fighting,
marching, marching, fighting, fighting . This time will be different.
This time the future can still be made new. This is a revolution. On
the streets and in the clubs of Cairo, a political uprising is
fermenting that will change the course of modern history. Mariam and
Khalil, young activists and film-makers committed to their ideals, are
swept up in a blaze of revolutionary fervour that will change their
lives for ever. Omar Robert Hamilton's extraordinary debut captures
the feverish intensity and trauma of one of the century's defining
uprisings: the 2011 Egyptian revolution. From the euphoria of mass
protests to the chilling silence of the morgue, The City Always Wins is a
hugely ambitious novel of breathless, dazzling scope. In this electric
sketch of a vibrant city - alive and teeming with political unrest -
Cairo is both the backdrop and focus of the novel, as the author crafts
unbearably vivid images with a filmmaker's voracious eye. With
razor-sharp dialogue and unforgettable characters, The City Always Wins
is the only book that allows readers to pierce to the bloody heart of
this uprising. Arrestingly visual, piercingly lyrical, and intensely
political, this is the definitive novel of the Arab Spring channelling
the voices of those who were really there. Brave, raw, and urgently
contemporary, Omar Robert Hamilton looks set to become the defining
voice of his generation.
