and happy Monday. It’s a relatively calm day, and we’ve got a brisk issue for you this afternoon. First, we compiled the best business advice Egypt’s entrepreneurs have shared with us over the years — the real stuff, not the polished version. And if you’re looking for something to watch tonight, Apple TV’s Lucky has been sitting there waiting to be discovered. Anya Taylor-Joy, a criminal past unraveling at the worst possible moment, and a brilliant show that somehow very few are talking about. That and more.

Today’s issue may or may not have taken on an Odyssey theme entirely by accident: we have Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey at the cinema, Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad on the shelf, a guide to water activities in Cairo for anyone whose own epic journey this weekend doesn’t extend beyond the city, and a café in Alexandria for those passing through on the way to Sahel. We also pay tribute to the late Hany Shenouda.
