Originally written in 1942, The Magnificent Conman of Cairo by the late revolutionary writer Adel Kamel will be available in English for the first time this month. And although this new release was written several decades ago, the tale of Mallim and Khaled, two men who manage to get into quite a bit of trouble together in Cairo, is a sharp, character-driven story that deserves to be heralded as a classic.
