Hello everyone!! Welcome to the first episode of The Left Page for 2023!!

To start the year well, we chat about the excellent novel (novella?) by P. Djèlí Clark "The Haunting of Tram Car 015"! A great alternate history story that considers a much more magical Cairo, and world, in the 1910s, allowing for many opportunities of fighting back against colonization and other radical experiences! And, frankly, decolonization really is one of the best possible ways for alt-history to go, as we conclude!

Have fun!

Do check out the author's short story The Angle of Khan el-Khalili!
