I heard from an Egyptian poet (Maged Zaher) that Cavafy, because he wrote in Alexandria, is a big deal in Egyptian poetry as well, particularly for the Christian minority in that country. Obviously, his language was Greek, so those that claim him as their own have to read him in translation too.

Similarly, one day I was discussing Blade Runner with my wife when my four-year-old asked what it was about. I said, "It's about a guy who has a dream about a unicorn, and then another guy gives him an origami unicorn, and that's how he knows he's a robot."
