An anti-profile, Jeffrey Fleishman's "Viewing Life from the Roof," is a series of snapshots from the life of Alia Qotb, who lives on an anonymous rooftop in Cairo. In language that floats between poetry and prose, Fleishman recounts vignettes from a woman nearing 70, born in the basement of the building she now lives on top of-in a hut without running water or a toilet.
