		In other words, he asserts that Mahfouz's relevance and standing are not due simply to the works he produced fifty, forty, or even twenty-five years ago, but rather to the fact that the Nobel author has continued to press forward, pulling Arabic literature in his wake.
		[Mahfouz] felt that since the novel was still a nascent form in Arabic without an established tradition in realism, he could not move straight away from romanticism to modernism: the Arabic novel and his own experience as a novelist in the making had to go through the natural stages of evolution.
		Mahfouz's importance might not be so much in his written texts (which have a limited circulation even in Egypt), but rather in their cinematographic reproductions.

		Naguib Mahfouz is one of the best known Arab authors in the Western World.
		Mahfouz was born in 1911 in Gamaliyya an old quarter of Cairo, Egypt.

	Edward Said: Naguib Mahfouz and the Cruelty of Memory
		Mahfouz has been characterised since he became a recognised world celebrity as either a social realist in the mode of Balzac, Galsworthy, and Zola or a fabulist straight out of the Arabian Nights (as in the view taken by J M Coetzee in his disappointing characterisation of Mahfouz).
		Mahfouz's Egypt is a charged one, strikingly vivid for the accuracy and humour with which he portrays it, in a mode that is neither completely taken with great heroes nor able to do without some dream of total harmony of the kind Akhenaten so desperately strives to keep but cannot sustain.
		Mahfouz is now ninety years old, nearly blind, and, after he was physically assaulted by religious fanatics in 1994, is said to be a recluse.

		As noted by Stock, Mahfouz bases his character, Taw-ty, on Pentaweret, who was once thought to have composed the account of Ramesses II's victory over the Hittites at Kadesh at the temple of Luxor.
		The pharaonic setting of these tales is enhanced by Mahfouz's straightforward writing and the viewpoint of his protagonists, which sometimes borders on naive or wondering.
		Mahfouz certainly seems to be drawing political parallels, with Akhenaten as Sadat and Horemheb as President Hosni Mubarak....

		The literary manner is that of myth, fable, allegory or parable,yet the effect is of the most intense actuality because Mahfouz's understanding of human psychology and history is so profound.
		The incidents in "The Harafish" are colorful, dramatic and often violent -- there is murder, suicide, deviant sexuality, domestic violence and every form of family support and conflict; all of this of course is a kind of metaphor for government and the process, not the progress, of history.
		It was an era of transition in Egypt, a time of acute crisis, as everywhere ordinary people were being pushed into the "abyss of Infitah." In the mad rush, there was a sense of an ending, a feeling of panic as the innocent helplessly watched their world rapidly disintegrating.

	Naguib Mahfouz: Respected Sir; Wedding Song; The Search
		Respected Sir (Hadrat al-Muhtaram, 1975) is an intense psychological study which never leaves its not particularly attractive central subject, but Mahfouz makes it almost into a fairy-tale, told with a light and (even in translation) inimitable prose.
		It is effortlessly readable, with dramatic episodes covered in short chapters which flow easily one after the other, just like the years of Othman's life, and the result is an absolute gem of a novel.
		But they show off Mahfouz's ability to handle different styles and forms, and indeed to make us think afresh about the novel itself.
