Circling the Square
by
Wendell Steavenson
In Circling the Square, Wendell Steavenson uses
literary reportage to describe the intimate ironies and ad hoc movements of the
Egyptian revolution—from Mubarak's fall to Mohammed Morsi's. Vignettes,
incidents, anecdotes, conversations, musings, observations and character
sketches cast a fresh light on this vital Middle Eastern story.
Closely
observing a wide range of people from a thug in a slum with a homemade gun to
the democracy/documentary makers on Tahrir Square, to fundamentalist imams and
military intelligence officers, Steavenson dares to ask: what am I looking at
and how can I begin to understand it?
