In 1993, Iman Mersal stumbled upon a slim volume with the title: “Love and Silence.”
Mersal found an intimate, introspective novel, an essential but largely forgotten work by Enayat al-Zayyat.
Mersal wrote "Traces of Enayat," to trace the author's life.

A Book Found in a Cairo Market Launched a 30-Year Quest: Who Was the Writer?
For Iman Mersal, the slim novel was “life altering.” She narrates her journey in the footsteps of its largely forgotten author in “Traces of Enayat.”

"It seems I inherit the dead.
One day
after the death of all those I love,
I will sit alone in a café
without any sense of loss,
because my body is a huge basket
where all those who leave
drop things
that bear their traces."

I love Iman Mersal so much (as well as a few others here). I’ve talked about it on the other site but I basically searched for several years to find the last available copy of her book of poetry, These Are Not Oranges, My Love.
