The Quarter: Stories by Naguib Mahfouz, Naguib Mahfouz, Roger Allen

3.0

This collection of vignettes gives an interesting snapshot onto life in a modern Cairo neighbourhood, filled with life, humour and a sense of magical realism. The Quarter is definitely best read through: individually, some of the stories lack impact, but together they take on an almost mythic quality.
