«Out of Egypt: A Memoir» is André Aciman's memoir, published by Riverhead Trade in paperback (339 pages, in English).
André Aciman evokes the story of his Jewish family in Alexandria, from their arrival in Egypt at the beginning of the twentieth century to exile three generations later. The narrative combines the splendour and decline of a cosmopolitan community with portraits of eccentric characters, and reflects on memory, identity and the loss of a world that has disappeared.
The cover of this edition features the Whiting Writer's Award seal from 1995 and press quotes from The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Republic and The New Yorker.
For readers of memoirs, biographies and the history of Egypt and the Jewish community of Alexandria.
