The Sahara is big. It’s the pictures that got small.
-KhairAllah Khair al-Sayyid, channelling Norma Desmond
Why read the words when you can look at the pictures, and why look at the pictures when you can go to the movies? On the Darb, KhairAllah earned his name Batal al-Shāsha, Hero of the Screen, even before the camera started rolling.
