Everything you need to know about Sh

Author's name: Ahmed El-Fakharany

"The magician is Sh's dream profession, whether it's the magician who appears at Christmas and hides a rabbit in a hat, or David Copperfield who made the Statue of Liberty disappear and breached the Great Wall of China. A life of spectacle, a dream that first inhabited his imagination through exceptional television segments that occasionally slipped out of Egyptian television programs, which were nothing more than a training plan for an ideal citizen for a single show. But beware, the one who makes friends as he breathes destroys them with an unshakable hand. Every now and then, Sh takes inventory of his list of friends, then ponders one question: Who should I delete from my life because their presence has become a source of boredom?" The book "Everything You Need to Know About Sh" includes twelve stories that hover on the edge between reality and fantasy, moving between the story of a person in heaven, a car that turns into a flying carpet, and a stone that erases everything that bothers its bearer. With his masterful style, Ahmed El-Fakharany is able to build each story with an exciting escalation, moving between scenes smoothly, using fast-paced dialogues that make the reader move with enjoyment from the story of the man who was struck by the lust for speech to the story of the driver Hassan, who is going anywhere, and from the Swiss neighborhood to the Garden of Eden. Although some of the ideas are fantastical, we always find the characters preoccupied with reality, as if they are in a constant state of questioning: “What if?”
