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.
