Description

An interview series in which we beat the lockdown blues reaching out to friends for a nice and informal telephone chat. In our ninth episode, Fernando Sdrigotti talks to Youssef Rakha, from Cairo, Egypt.


Some of the topics discussed: Cairo the Myth versus Cairo as a lived city, self-exiles and returns, writing and not writing during the lockdown.
