Praise
“Mahfouz’s characters blaze with intensity, his Egypt pulsates with unresolved tensions.”
—THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION
“Mahfouz’s understanding of human psychology and history is profound.”
—THE BOSTON GLOBE
“He is not only a Hugo and a Dickens, but also a Galsworthy, a Mann, a Zola, and a Jules Romains.”
—Edward Said, LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS
“Mahfouz is the single most important writer in modern Arabic literature.”
—NEWSDAY
“A storyteller of the first order in any idiom.”
—VANITY FAIR
“Through works rich in nuance—now clear-sightedly realistic, now evocatively ambiguous—Mahfouz has formed an Arabian narrative art that applies to all mankind.”
—The Swedish Academy, upon awarding Mahfouz the Nobel Prize in Literature
