Sortir de prison et se venger des traitres qui l'ont vendu, là est l'ultime but désormais de Saïd Mahrane. Mais quelle trahison est la pire : celle de la femme qu'il aimait et qui l'a trompé puis vendu aux policiers, lui, cambrioleur de grand talent ou celle de l'ami, autrefois complice et désormais devenu homme publique et embourgeoisé, aux idées radicalement différentes ? Hélas, l'erreur est humaine et Saïd ne tire pas sur la bonne cible. Hélas aussi, il croise sur sa route une femme (...)

http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/M/Mahfouz/Mahfou
Mahfouz, Naguib Born in Cairo in 1911, Naguib Mahfouz began writing when he was seventeen. His first novel was published in 1939 and ten more were written before the Egyptian Revolution of July 1952, when he stopped writing for several years. One novel was republished in 1953, however, and the appearance of the Cairo Triology, Bayn al Qasrayn, Qasr al Shawq, Sukkariya (Between-the-Palaces, Palace of Longing, Sugarhouse) in 1957 made him famous throughout the Arab world as a depictor of traditional urban life. With The Children of Gebelawi (1959), he began writing again, in a new vein that frequently concealed political judgements under allegory and symbolism. Works of this second period include the novels, The Thief and the Dogs (1961), Autumn Quail (1962), Small Talk on the Nile (1966), and Miramar (1967), as well as several collections of short stories.
Until 1972, Mahfouz was employed as a civil servant, first in the Ministry of Mortmain Endowments, then as Director of Censorship in the Bureau of Art, as Director of the Foundation for the Support of the Cinema, and, finally, as consultant on Cultural Affairs to the Ministry of Culture. The years since his retirement from the Egyptian bureaucracy have seen an outburst of further creativity, much of it experimental. He is now the author of no fewer than thirty novels, more than a hundred short stories, and more than two hundred articles. Half of his novels have been made into films which have circulated throughout the Arabic-speaking world. In Egypt, each new publication is regarded as a major cultural event and his name is inevitably among the first mentioned in any literary discussion from Gibraltar to the Gulf.

Dear Big Harfoush: Greetings from Michigan, USA. This is Raymond Stock, whom you may know from Naguib Bey's nadwahs at Casino Qasr el-Nil. I am now working on Mr. Mahfouz's biography, and wonder if perhaps we could be in touch to discuss your experiences with him. I last saw him on Dec. 19, 2000, and will be seeing him again when I return to Cairo next month, insha'llah. If you'd like to be in touch, my e-mail address is rstock@aucegypt.edu, or rstock@sas.upenn.edu. With all best wishes, wa-kull 'am wa-anta bi-khayr, Raymond Stock

60. Virtual Marginalia: Review Of Mahfouz, Naguib
Virtual Marginalia Book title Midaq Alley + Author naguib mahfouz Posted October 12, 2001 The author, naguib mahfouz won the Nobel Prize in 1988.
http://www.papaya-palace.com/katbooks/archives/000506.html
Virtual Marginalia
Book title: Midaq Alley
Author: Naguib Mahfouz
Posted October 12, 2001
Superficially, the book is a sort of Egyptian Melrose Place set in World War II. The characters fall in and out of love with one another so quickly, it is hard to keep track sometimes. More deeply, the book has two themes: (1) the effect WWII and the British Army had on Egypt, and (2) the material foundation of morality. The army and soldiers seem to corrupt all that they touch, setting off ripples of unintended circumstance that painfully change life in the alley, and the poorest find the moral high ground only with great difficulty. But the author has a light touch. The message isn't driven home; it is instead woven throughout the whole story. I found that the book made a good "airplane book," although I would have enjoyed reading it in any setting. The author, Naguib Mahfouz won the Nobel Prize in 1988. The book has been on my shelf for about a year; now seemed like an appropriate time to read it. I found the Arabic names difficult to keep track of. Also, the book is set in a small alley, and the relative locations of the buildings is a relevant part of the story. In order to keep track of all this, I drew up the following cheat sheet:
Right Side of Alley Left Side of Alley
Others: Zaita (cripple-maker, lives behind bakery); Darwish (former English teacher, homeless); Sanker (waiter)
