Chicago : a novel / Alaa Al Aswany ; translated [from the Arabic] by Farouk Abdel Wahab. by Aswānī, ʻAlāʾ, 1957- Harper, c2007. Call #: FICTION ASW Subjects University of Illinois at the Medical Center -- Fiction.   Egyptians -- United States -- Fiction.   College students -- Fiction.   Students, Foreign -- Fiction.   Culture conflict -- Fiction.   Chicago (Ill.) -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780061452567 Edition:  1st U.S. ed. Description:  342 p. ; 24 cm. Notes:  "First published in Arabic in 2007 as Shikagu by Dar El Shorouk"--T.p. verso. Translated from the Arabic. Summary:  A medley of Egyptian and American lives collides on the campus of the University of Illinois in a post-9/11 Chicago, and crises of identity abound. Among the players are an atheistic anti-establishment American professor of the sixties generation whose relationship with a younger African-American woman becomes a moving target for intolerance; a veiled Ph.D. candidate whose conviction in the code of her traditional upbringing is shaken by her exposure to American society; an emigre who has fervently embraced his new American identity, but who cannot escape his Egyptian roots when faced with the issue of his daughter's 'honour'; an Egyptian State Security informant who spouts religious doctrines while hankering after money and power; and a dissident student poet who comes to America with the sole aim of financing his literary aspirations. Genre:  Arabic fiction -- Translations into English. College stories.
