Blogging from Egypt: Digital Literature, 2005-2016
Six years before the Egyptian revolution of January 2011, many young Egyptians had resorted to blogging as a means of self-expression and literary creativity. This resulted in the emergence of a new literary genre: the autofictional blog. Such blogs are explored here as forms of digital literature, combining literary analysis and interviews with the authors.
The blogs analysed give readers a glimpse into the daily lives, feelings and aspirations of the Egyptian youth who have pushed the country towards a cultural and political revolution. The narratives are also indicative of significant aesthetic and political developments taking place in Arabic literature and culture.

A detailed documentation for the golden/ hideous/sidious/ childish/ years of my life.
A book that definitely it's value will be more in the future. Teresa analysis is evocative and open my eyes and many details that I didn't see before

A well astounding book that encompasses the perspective of the arabian youth of egypt and their struggle to find a voice between the rebellious freedom fighters and the gamal "police state" that has still continued with Mubaraks reign
