After an assassination attempt and in waning health, Naguib Mahfouz
became more cautious in his twilight years. At the same time, in
nightly dreams, his imagination began to roam his beloved city, Cairo,
with a rare freedom.
In this collection of vivid vignettes linked together by the author’s
precisely rendered nocturnal 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 and
spiritual musings, hopes and disappointments. Over the course of the
book, they build to a rich and complex picture of Mahfouz’s
subconscious.
