The stake

Author's name: Khairy Shalaby

"Khairy Shalaby" writes about a real countryside, a countryside poorer than the one from which the sons of the "well-off" came, it is a countryside of prairies and abject poverty. He writes about it in a state of transformation and movement. He does not lament, but rather tries to see the beautiful, diverse, capable, patient, weak, deceitful, cunning, faithful, and brutally powerful human being. "Alaa El-Deeb", the juice of books, his way of storytelling is unrivaled, and he possesses a unique ability to move from one event to another and from one topic to another within the body of a single text. He does not adopt a specific writing style, but writes each text in the style that suits it. Dr. "Hamed Abu Ahmed", Cairo newspaper. "Khairy Shalaby" sometimes seems to me as if he lived through previous generations, speaking to you as if he knew "Abdullah al-Nadim", "Ahmed Orabi", "Qasim Amin" and "Saad Zaghloul", and often I see him as having the spirit of a young man in the prime of life, full of longing and hope, contemplating the bright aspects of events and people.
