The literary debut of Éric Chacour, a writer born in Montreal of Egyptian immigrant parents, draws with delicacy, sensitivity and emotion the portrait of a broken family and a society in the midst of transformation.

What I Know About You portrays the Cairo of the Eighties. Tarek, a young doctor, follows the destiny that has been mapped out for him; between his dispensary and the prestigious clinic inherited from his father, he does not have much time to ask himself questions, but the encounter with a person with whom, apparently, he has nothing in common, will shatter all the certainties of his life.
From the Levantine community of Egypt to the winters of Montreal, from Nasser's presidency to the dawn of the twenty-first century, Tarek flees, wanders, remembers. But do you know that, thousands of kilometers away, someone is patching up the pieces of his story and trying to follow, chapter after chapter, the course of his haphazard life?
