Description
Lewis has written a script. Eighty pages in ten days.
Hardly slept... He taps the bag on his shoulder with a
delicate fingertip like it’s a hot kettle. Cliff is then given
ten minutes on the problem with Lewis’s printer. Then the
history of problems with his printer. Then problems with
printers more generally...
Robert Clifford is in Cairo to present his latest film for
a festival prize. It has taken seven gruelling years of
his life to make and is definitely NOT a film about his
mother. But his moment in the spotlight is not quite as
he scripted.
Angels of Cairo is a fast-moving, acerbic comedy told
over a single day but capturing a lifetime of angst and
self-doubt.

Pretty good. I'm not sure if this will have wide appeal, but it's pretty well written. The situations and particularly the characters were fun to follow. The author created a decent amount of suspense and kept it mostly interesting. I chuckled a few time as well.
Thanks very much for the ARC for review!!
