A new volume of three novelsāpreviously published separately by Anchorāby Naguib Mahfouz, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. Together with The Beggar, The Thief and The Dogs, and Autumn Quail(published by Anchor in December 2000), these novels represent a comprehensive collection of Mahfouzās artful meditations on post-revolution Egypt. Diverse in style and narrative technique, they render a nuanced and universally resonant vision of modern life in the Middle East.
Respected Sir, āa latter-day Bleak Housein Arabicā (The New York Times), revisits a familiar themeāvaulting ambitionāin a powerful and religious metaphor. Wedding Song, āone of Mahfouzās most enjoyable worksā (The Chicago Tribune), is a psychological drama, focusing on how four very different kinds of minds apprehend and reckon with the realities that surround them. The Search is a powerful, lurid, and compelling story of lust, greed, and murder.
