Delicate, sensitive and luminous, What I know about you (ed. Alto), first novel by Montrealer of Egyptian origin Éric Chacour, very noted in France, was there in the running for several major prizes of the year. It deserves to be savored slowly on many levels. At once a profile of Cairo from the 1980s until the end of the last century, a story of forbidden love, of roots and escape, a story of immigration to Montreal, this book is steeped in stylistic finesse and depth. Éric Chacour explores the soul of his hero doctor in search of truth between two worlds, two temporalities and an inextinguishable memory stuck to the heart.
