Egyptian novelist Mohamed al-Makhzangi blamed political polarization for the current state of division among Egyptians. He said they have lost what they enjoyed during the recent January 25 Revolution: prosperity and humanitarian highness. In a seminar held by Al-Shorouq library in Cairo's upscale Zamalek neighborhood, al-Makhzangi discussed his recent book "South to East - Journeys and Visions," published by Dar al-Shorouq. Al-Makhzangi's book describes Egypt's current state as the cancer cells that expand and spread in a crazy way, like the former regime. He said the body's immune system fights the cancer, and that the Egyptian people should pay attention to the “cancer's” current behavior. He said, "Every Egyptian in Tahrir viewed the revolution as his own revolution, so despite the overcrowding they gave each other a place like the body cells which give the other cells a place on the contrary of the cancer cells." He also talked about his different travels, signaling that he liked travelling among different governorates on the rooftops of the trains. He also talked about his study in the Soviet Union, which paved the way for travelling among the Mediterranean countries to discover another culture which is different from the western culture which showered the world.
