Waiting for Frank Ocean in Cairo

By Hazem Fahmy

Weaving the lyrics of Frank Ocean's discography, Hazem Fahmy's Waiting for Frank Ocean in Cairo is a poetic account of four years of shuffling, a catalogue of the constant in-betweenness of being caught in the middle of two places across an ocean. Exploring themes of family, gender, and the attempt to find meaning outside the confines of the state, Fahmy's sophomore collection uses the singer's iconic music and persona as a guidepost to a firmer understanding of the self and the spaces that define it.
