Oedipus on the Plane by Mohamed Salmawy... A symbolic political novel rich with imagination. The plane landed on schedule at the prison airport, and the Chief of Staff waited for King Oedipus to leave the aircraft. The order issued to him by high command was to receive Oedipus properly upon his arrival and then escort him to his cell without handcuffing him. However, the plane door opened, and no one came out. After more than half an hour, the king's personal guard got out and went to the Chief of Staff, telling him the last thing he expected to hear: the king refused to get off the plane. In this new novel, the great writer Mohamed Salmawy depicts the confrontation between the ruler and the people through an innovative artistic form, skillfully blending the Greek tragedy represented by the myth of Oedipus and the curse he brought upon the country with his heinous crime, with our recent popular revolution that changed the course of our contemporary history. In doing so, he imbues the events of this pivotal stage in our modern history with a rare tragic dimension.
