From the New Yorker, Aug. 1, 2005. Review of Naguib Mahfouz's The Dreams, published by the American University in Cairo: "In his first book since an assassin nearly killed him, a decade ago, the Nobel laureate and author of "The Cairo Trilogy" transcribes his dreams Presented without interpretation, the hundred and four sketches are cryptic, haunting, and brief--none more than a few paragraphs, some only a few sentences. Frequently, the narrator begins in delight and wonder--a street is a circus; a beautiful lady stirs his heart--and ends in terror, doubt, and confusion."
