It is a novel. The character Ossama is an elegant gentleman pickpocket in Cairo. As seen in the story, he is a decent thief and not a legitimate thief like a minister, banker, or real estate developer.

About the author

Albert Cossery

Cairo gave Albert Cossery his subject and Paris gave him his address. Born in the Egyptian capital in 1913 to a Greek Orthodox family of Syrian origin, he left for France at seventeen after reading Balzac, settled there for good in 1945, and spent the next sixty-three years in one room at the Hôtel La Louisiane in Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
