Dear ARABIC-L members,

Yesterday the New York Times ran a good article about the great writer
Naguib Mahfouz... You can access it at:

http://www.nytimes.com/2002/09/16/books/16MAHF.html

Naguib Mahfouz: The Passage of the Century is a recent documentary film
about the only Arab to win the Nobel Prize for Literature:

Author of the acclaimed "Cairo Trilogy," "The Harafish," "Arabian Nights
and Days" and many other novels and collections of short stories, Naguib
Mahfouz weaves the threads of his life together with his view of
society,
his childhood, his discovery of literature (Egyptian and Western), the
city
of Cairo (which he left only three times in his life), Islamic
fundamentalism, the evolution of Egypt, the role of women, and the
future
of civilization.
