Michael Haag's Many Alexandrias


Michael Haag's Many Alexandrias is an article that appears in Arion, a Journal of Humanities and the Classics.

'Michael Haag offers many Alexandrias—Cavafy’s, Forster’s, and Durrell’s—but his special contribution to this tradition may be his recovery and preservation of a great city’s past, before it becomes completely lost and forgotten. He has rescued what ought to be saved. He tells the stories of artists, individuals, and families in the mix and flux of events. His great theme is modern Alexandria. His achievement is both history and art.'
