An embarrassing situation that the artist Mohy Ismail was exposed to at the book fair, which led to his withdrawal from participating in the seminars for the second time, considering what happened as an insult against him and a lack of appreciation for him, which made his name top the search engines during the past hours, leaving the audience wondering what happened?
What happened to Mohie Ismail inside the book fair?
While Mohie Ismail signed one of his own publications at the book fair, he did not find anyone to share with him the signing of his new publication, which he considered an insult to him, which gave him the right to withdraw, as he was surprised that the hall was empty of attendees so he decided to leave.
This was not the first time that Mohie Ismail withdrew from the book fair. He was exposed to the same situation in the 53rd session of the fair, when he withdrew from the symposium “200 years since the birth of Dostoyevsky,” after he was surprised that the hall was empty of an audience.
“Al-Watan” contacted Mohie Ismail, but he refused to comment at the present time: “I am sleeping and tired and I will not be able to speak now,” after he was exposed to an embarrassing situation at the exhibition.
The last appearance of Mohie Ismail
It is noteworthy that the last appearance of Mohie Ismail was during his celebration of his 77th birthday, last November, when he wrote on his account on the social networking site “Facebook”, saying: “I wish the billion people who love me add one more.”
The book fair was launched a few days ago after Dr. Mostafa Madbouly opened the fair, witnessing a great demand from the public, as it contains hundreds of thousands of books, in addition to many seminars and events with the participation of 1,200 publishers, as it is considered an annual meeting point in the capital, Cairo, as it brings together lovers of… Culture, specialists, students, and people of determination from all over the world. The ticket value is 5 pounds per person, and it provides a range of services to visitors, including delivering books to them via Egyptian Post.
