8.20 Dreaming of Rivers
The Egyptian-born novelist and short story writer Ahdaf Soueif lives in England and writes in English. But her subjects are nearly always Egytian, in particular the clash between cultures inside and outside the country. Her novel In the Eye of the Sun has been described as "the great Egyptian novel about England", and her two books of short stories have performed subtle conjuring tricks with quarrels and occasional harmonies between the two cultures. Extracts from her work are read by Jane Whittenshaw.
