" When I was in school in Luxor I would see these photographs of Englishmen and Frenchmen who visited Egypt, before the djinn came. Mostly they were in suits. But sometimes they’d put on a jellabiya and headscarf. I found out they called it ‘going native.’ To look exotic, they said.'

'Did they?' Aasim cut in.

'Did they what?'

'Look exotic.'

'No. Just ridiculous.'

Aasim snickered.

'Anyway, when I bought my first suit, the English tailor asked me why I wanted it. I told him I wanted to look exotic. "
