Five short stories describing the minutae of everyday feelings , tasks, sensations, routines from a cast of characters of suburban Cairo / Egypt. The first story from which the book takes it title was written in 1964, directly after the author had been released from 5 years in detention for political activities. Nevertheless this first literary work to be banned by Nasser, evoked a strong reaction in the press. In 1968 it was published in Beirut. In 1969 it was finally republished in Cairo after certain passages were taken out.
