The young Obie Yadgar would often observe his great-uncle, the renowned Assyrian writer and historian Benyamin Arsanis, bent over his desk, fountain pen in hand, always writing. Years later, following a tour of duty in Vietnam as a U.S. Army combat correspondent, Obie worked as a freelance writer and radio broadcaster. Obie continues to write, like his uncle, bent over his desk, fountain pen in hand. Whistling to Cairo is Obie’s second novel. Other works by Obie Yadgar include: Fiction, Will’s Music; Non-fiction, Obie’s Opus.
