SUMMARY:Rotten Evidence: Reading and Writing in an Egyptian Prison
DESCRIPTION:This panel will feature a discussion with Egyptian writer Ahmed Naji about his time spent in a Cairene prison for violating public decency laws in his second novel\, Using Life. Being a prisoner forced Ahmed to examine the role of literature in society; meet the fabled Average Reader and a man named Rhinoceros; and confront his own ambivalence in calling himself a writer.
