Naguib Mahfouz (Arabic author profile: نجيب محفوظ) was an Egyptian writer who won the 1988 Nobel Prize for Literature. He published over 50 novels, over 350 short stories, dozens of movie scripts, and five plays over a 70-year career. Many of his works have been made into Egyptian and foreign films.
Delicate vignettes, that capture Cairo, love, longing, and hope. Diana Matar’s pictures give it additional depth and Hisham Matars foreword places these dreams further in context. Highly recommend!
