Abstract

The study of literature and art is not a sociological one, as some might think. Both are a phenomenon of human social phenomena whose existence and development are linked to the development of culture. This is a human innovation that reveals in its content and form the extent to which human groups understand and understand the universe, the world, and the surrounding environment. The novel of Cairo House by Samia Serageldin, published in English, is a novel that is woven from different braids, from autobiography to the diaspora literature to the existential philosophical narrative, to historical literature and sociological literature. All these factors make it an ideal example of post-colonial literature. It all overlaps to create a harmonious, beautiful braid whose locks do not Alienate, but embrace warm intimacy despite the cruelty of life towards the heroine of the novel Gigi. Samia Sirajuddin, an Egyptian-American, writes an imaginary autobiography unfolding, in vibrant details and fertile fiction, the eras that once were before July Revolution in Egypt 1952. She transfers her readers across a stunning journey through cultures within cultures. The Cairo House is more than just a novel about Cairo though. It is a preface to the changing periods and the stylishness that once was in a pre-Nasserite Egypt.
