Prizes for Heroes
by Ahmed Awny
Description
It is a satirical, touching reflection on what it feels like to have lived through the Arab Spring in Egypt. Ramy is a directionless, disaffected 29-year-old Egyptian from an upper-class family, who lives in a social bubble and has no knowledge of the working classes or the factional demands of his society, until he finds himself caught up in the Egyptian Revolution of January 2011. Through chapters that alternate between the present and the immediate and distant pasts, Ramy narrates his story in a starkly comic and sensitive expression of the confusing, heady, and mercurial emotions of the mass social and political upheaval of the time, from his perspective as a young man with the dreams of youth—dreams of marriage, love, stability—who finally grows up by living through an unprecedented historical moment.

“A truly rich novel which falls under not one particular genre. The author was able to dodge all the cliches we heard and read about the Revolution.” – Nada El-Shabrawi, vlogger
