Here, she guides us through his pages and treads his streets and alleys to produce a collection of outstanding visual images of the historic city. Each complements a verbal image from Mahfouz's writings.
In his introduction, novelist Gamal al-Ghitani describes his walking tour with the great man around the streets of Gamaliya, that historic heart of the old city where both of them -- more than 30 years apart -- grew up. Along the way, Mahfouz reminisces on what has changed in eight decades.
