Solipsum

Synopsis:
Fashion, photography, futurism, models and martial arts. All this and a demon from hell—lock your doors and snuggle in for the night. Daniel Couto’s novel, Solipsum will have you up reading until morning.

It’s ten years just past now and Charlie, a beautiful young woman in New York City lands the job of a lifetime—working as a photo assistant on a highly experimental advertising campaign that features the world’s hottest models. But one of these models is not what he seems—he takes frequent trips to Hell and he’s got one hell of an agenda.

Couto’s imagination is a wild ride filled with characters that jump off the pages to visit your dreams (and nightmares)—stunning models, shark-like superagents, ninja assassins and demons dressed to the nines. Dry black humor, a deeply erotic undercurrent and a razzle-dazzle plotline all lead to a fantastic conclusion.

I was on the prowl for what I thought was a magazine titled, "Hijab Fashion," which I thought would make a neat teaching tool about stereotypes of the veil.

I was too embarrassed to ask if they had it so ... it was apparently less embarrassing for me to peruse the fashion magazine section at every news stand in Zamalek (this made total sense at the time, OK??).

Turns out it was a fashion catalog, and it was both heavy and expensive. Next time.

It looks more girly inside than Ramses', which depicts his battle victories, etc. There is an incredible painting inside of two goddesses tending to Nefertari that our guide referred to as "the Vogue picture." Really looks like it could be in a current fashion magazine.
