I went to the Big Read kickoff at the Arab American National Museum Sunday and had a great time. They served Koshari, my favorite dish from Egypt - I ate it at least 4x a week when I lived there. Click here for a recipe
After a delicious Egyptian lunch, guests moved to the lower level auditorium for a lecture by Dr. Trevor Legassick who translated the original Arabic text into English. He gave a great context for Naguib Mahfouz's life and works. It was truly inspirational and enjoyable.
There are many more events scheduled, visit the Arab American National Museum website for a complete list and more information about the book and author:
