Arabic Booker

An "Arabic Booker" has been handed out for the second time, this year to an Egyptian author, Yusuf Zeydan with the novel Beelzebub.

Swedish radio tonight broadcast a programme on the Cairo book fair and interviewing Alaa Al-Aswany and Baha Taher (last year's award winner of the first Arabic Booker).

Right now the Abu Dhabi book fair has begun and I am hoping to attend tomorrow.
