 The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit, A Jewish Family's Exodus from Old Cairo to the New World Lucette Lagnado BIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR • 2008 • PAPER • 368 PAGES  E-mail this page  Printer-friendly version
A Wall Streeet Journal reporter, Lagnado evokes not just the extraordinary life of her marvelously social father (the "boulevardier of Cairo), but also the now-vanished world of Cario before Gamal Abdel Nasser and the exodus of the Jews. Landing eventually in Brooklyn in the 1960s, it's the nightclubs, markets, synagogues, cemetaries and wheeling-dealing of colonial Cairo that animated her father Leon.
