asked:
I am an ardent fan of Peter Hessler writing, but should I buy this book if I have read all of his articles about Egypt published in “The New Yorker”? I mean - is it simply a compilation of his earlier pieces or a new book entirely?

No, this is much more than just a compendium of his New Yorker pieces. Lots of new stuff as well as a carefully organized structure that enriches the stuff that you may have read elsewhere. Read it if you like Hessler!

If you have read all of Hessler's New Yorker pieces, I strongly recommend that you get the audio book of The Buried. He reads it himself, and that adds a nuance well beyond the printed page. Further, as Tom said (a year ago!) there is both new and expanded content.
