There began a seven-month nightmare as he was swept up, along with fifty other men, in the infamous Queen Boat affair that targeted Egypts gay community.
Finally free, but traumatized into speechlessness, Hani writes down the events of his lifehis first sexual desires, his relationship with his mother, his marriage of convenience, and his passion for Abdel Aziz, the only man he ever truly loved.
In the Spiders Roomis a bold tale of sexuality and persecution in contemporary Egypt.
