After an assassination attempt in his twilight years, Naguib Mahfouz
became a recluse, going out rarely and receiving visitors in his hotel.
Cautious and in ill-health, he could only roam the city freely in his
dreams.
In this mix of vivid vignettes linked together by the author's
precisely rendered nightly wanderings through Cairo, figures from
Mahfouz's personal life blend with his anxieties about Egypt's
political past and future. Each dream is layered with philosophical
musings, hopes and desperations, fidelities and disappointments. Over
the course of the book they build to a lush and complex picture of
Mahfouz' subconscious.
