82+Bonus: Book Quiz
About the episode
All this season, we will be doing short book-quiz episodes with prizes donated by ten distinguished publishers. We give the answer to the question from Episode 81, “Naguib Mahfouz’s Banned Book” and a new challenge for listeners, regarding one of the books we discussed in Episode 82: “The Men Who Swallowed the Sun,” which features Beduin migration from Egypt to Libya. Send your best guesses to [email protected]. The first listener to respond with the right answer will get a book in the mail!
