Egyptian Romance: a novel about travel
Once again, many people are under lockdown. Once again, travel is hard, or impossible. During the first lockdown, I published my black notebooks recording most of my travels over the last thirty-odd years. So I thought this second lockdown might be a good moment to publish some more travel-related writing.
"Egyptian Romance" is a novel, but one based on information I gathered during my own trip to Egypt in 1990, which I published as a series of four posts earlier this year. It represents a re-working of my black books from that trip in a form that some may find easier to read. It can therefore be seen as part of a series, which includes A Partial India - a re-working of my travel notebook for India, and Walks with Lorenzetti, which re-visits a 1988 trip I made to Venice.
