With the United Nations’ authorization of all necessary measures to take down the Gaddafi regime, the world is once more looking to the USA and NATO to intervene. But Egypt is an original member of the United Nations, has Africa’s largest military and shares a border with Libya.

Will Egypt export its democratic revolution?

As I illustrated in my novel, the Middle East is a place full of strange, violent and revolutionary characters. And I’ve been commenting a fair bit over at The Propagandist on the consequences of the blazingly rapid change sweeping the region:

• How To Help Libya? The Rabble Says Do Nothing
• Review. The Long War for Freedom
• The Hijacking Of A Revolution

I’m not exactly sure how Amazon works, but somebody seems to be making a whole lot of money off my novel, A History of The Middle Eastside.

If these guys at “quality-books” can actually find a buyer at that price, all the power to them.

Of course, if you’d like to purchase my book for $9.99 plus shipping, that would be swell, too.

I mentioned on this blog a little while back that I wrote a novel in 2010. It’s called A History Of The Middle Eastside and it’s now available for purchase on Amazon.

If you haven’t quite finished your Christmas shopping (I know, I didn’t quite make the deadline for Chanukah) and like books, check it out. It’s a “Gangs of New York”-style allegory for the history of Zionism, international intrigues and the modern Middle East. It’s a bit surreal, like a Charlie Kaufman film, with some emulative touches of Michael Chabon’s “The Yiddish Policemen’s Union”. And violent, as you might expect from a gangster story. Er, perfect for the holiday season.

If you’re a book reviewer or political commentator (blogger or mainstream media) and interested in writing about it, I do have a limited number of review copies available. Contact me at jnarvey [AT] writeimage [DOT] ca

Cheers.
