Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only the rare downpours of winter and the dust storms of spring could banish him indoors. Yet, whether inspired at the side of the heater, purring black cat on his lap, or next to the pansy bed, with ecstatic flocks of bee-eaters overhead, Afifi's intimate, whimsical musings radiate a profound and unique sense of place. Mohammed Afifi died in 1981, in winter, just after completing this fictionalized memoir."--BOOK JACKET.
