The Yacoubian Building by Alaa El Aswany The Yacoubian Building by Alaa el Aswany. (2004) French title: L’immeuble Yacoubian. Translated by Gilles Gauthier. The Yacoubian Building by Alaa el Aswany has been on the TBR for ages and is part of my Tame the TBR project. I wonder why I waited so long to read it. We’re in Cairo in the early 2000s. The building Yacoubian is an old aristocratic building where the European elite of the town used to live before the Egyptian revolution of 1952. http://bookaroundthecorner.com/2025/02/25/the-yacoubian-building-by-alaa-el-aswany/
