What Men Never Said

About this book

Adam collapses amid the crowds of Sadat Station, his body finally yielding to a burden no one else can see. Issa, a stranger linked to him only by proximity to Sayyida Zaynab and by pain carefully hidden, reaches out to help. A mysterious call from Mr. M, a sales bag that carries more than merchandise and an unexplained agreement draw the two men into a tense story of illness, loneliness and moral compromise. Moving through Cairo's streets and public transport, the novel examines why men choose silence and what it can cost them.
