Not much is known about Waguih Ghali. Ghali was born and raised in Cairo. His exact birth date is not known, but it is guessed he was born in the 1930鈥檚 to a upper class Coptic family in Egypt. Ghali鈥檚 family spoke English and French more than Arabic something he mirrors in his character Ram. When he was young, Ghali鈥檚 father passed away leaving Waguih behind as the poor relation to his mother鈥檚 rich family. Once he grew up he funneled his outrage at the poverty in Egypt towards the Communist party. As an adult Ghali left Egypt to study and work in Britain, France, Sweden and Germany. 鈥淏eer in the Snooker Club鈥� was his only novel which now appears to be an exaggerated dictation of his life. Waguih Ghali committed suicide in 1969. Much of his life in London and up until his death is described in "After a Funeral" by Diana Athill. In "After a Funeral" Dianna Athill describes how she meet Waguih Ghali, whose alias in the novel is "Didi". According to Diana Athill, Waguih Ghali was a sweet and intelligent man. He was an Egyptian exile though and through that information she discovered a darker side to the talented writer. Ghali was an intense gambler, drinker, and womaniser. He committed suicide in the flat they shared in London. When he died he left behind a set of notebooks. In these notebooks Waguih Ghali wrote that his death was the "one authentic act of my life." 賰丕鬲亘 賲氐乇賷貙 賱賴 乇賵丕賷丞 賵丨賷丿丞 賴賷 亘賷乇丞 賮賷 賳丕丿賷 丕賱亘賱賷丕乇丿賵 賵丕賱鬲賷 賰鬲亘賴丕 兀孬賳丕亍 廿賯丕賲鬲賴 賮賷 兀賵丕卅賱 丕賱爻鬲賷賳賷丕鬲 亘賷賳 亘乇賱賷賳 賵賱賳丿賳貙 鬲乇賰 睾丕賱賷 亘賱丿賴 賲氐乇 賮賷 兀賵丕卅賱 丕賱爻鬲賷賳賷丕鬲 賵爻丕賮乇 廿賱賶 兀賵乇賵亘丕 賱賷毓賲賱 賮賷 賵馗丕卅賮 睾賷乇 賲爻鬲賯乇丞貙 賲賳賴丕 毓丕賲賱 賮賷 賲氐丕賳毓 亘亘乇賱賷賳 賵毓丿丿 賲賳 丕賱賵馗丕卅賮 丕賱兀禺乇賶貙 賵賴賷 丕賱賮鬲乇丞 丕賱鬲賷 亘丿兀 賮賷賴丕 亘賰鬲丕亘丞 乇賵丕賷鬲賴 丕賱兀賵賱賶 賵丕賱賵丨賷丿丞貙 賰賲丕 毓賲賱 賰賲乇丕爻賱 氐丨賮賷 賵賰鬲亘 鬲丨賯賷賯丕鬲 賱賲噩賱丞 氐賳丿丕賷 鬲丕賷賲夭 亘賳丕亍 毓賱賶 夭賷丕乇鬲賴 賱廿爻乇丕卅賷賱 賮賷 丕賱爻鬲賷賳賷丕鬲貙 丕賳鬲丨乇 賵噩賷赖 睾丕賱賷 賮賷 卮賯丞 丕賱賰丕鬲亘丞 丕賱廿賳噩賱賷夭賷丞 丿賷丕賳丕 丌鬲賴賷賱 毓丕賲 佟侃佴侃
