ماكيت القاهرة

In 2045 a Cairo gallery for marginal art offers a grant for a miniature model of the city as it was in 2020, when it was Egypt's capital. The novel moves between 2045, 2020, 2011 and a far future, each with an independent artist: a model maker branded as a boy as his father's killer, a filmmaker jailed over her last film, a graffiti painter hunted in the January revolution, and a comics artist with two memories of the city.
