Contemporary Arabic fiction traces displacement and the importance of place within experience of war and tyranny, migrations and forced dislocation, economic hardship and political disillusionment. Three Egyptian novels from the cusp of the 21st century construct houses as structures of displacement, anxiety and crowding. Hopes engendered by Egypt’s 1952 revolution, progressively dismantled, inhabit structures that mark out precarious existences for Egyptian youth
