THE CITY ALWAYS WINS by Omar Robert Hamilton - TRAILER #1

"Unbearable. Unmissable. A dazzling debut.” - Naomi Klein
THE CITY ALWAYS WINS is a novel from the front line of a revolution.
Deeply enmeshed in the 2011 uprising in Tahrir Square, Mariam and Khalil move through Cairo’s surging streets and roiling political underground. From the communal highs of night battles against the police to the solitary lows of post-revolutionary exile, Omar Robert Hamilton’s bold debut cuts to the psychological heart of one the key chapters in the twenty-first century.
“Omar Hamilton brings vividly to life the failed revolution of 2011 on the streets of Cairo, in all its youthful bravery and naive utopianism.”
―J. M. Coetzee
"The hope, the excitement, the arrogance, the disillusionment, the renewal of hope-this novel is fast, thought-provoking and hugely entertaining."
- Roddy Doyle
