In 1980s Cairo, a young doctor lives the life everyone expects of him. He will follow in his father's footsteps, inherit his practice and clientele, and do what is expected. Tarek has no time for thoughts or questions. But a chance encounter will shake his marriage, his career, and even his certainties, forcing him to leave.
From the Levantine community of Egypt to the harsh winters of Montreal, from Nasser's rule to the dawn of a new century, Tarek leaves, wanders, and reminisces. Yet he realizes that thousands of miles away, someone is collecting the chapters of his story and trying to reconstruct, piece by piece, the course of his life.
A story of absence and potential reconciliation, What I Know About You paints a tender portrait of a family and a society undergoing drastic transformation. Eric Chacour's debut novel reveals a writer with refined language, sensitivity, and a deep understanding of human nature.
