The Dreams by Naguib Mahfouz
In this collection of his newest and shortest short stories, the Egyptian Nobel literature laureate has reduced the fictional form to its most essential level, while retaining his justifiably famous mastery of the storytelling art. First serialized in a Cairo magazine, "The Dreams" are a unique and haunting mixture of the deceptively quotidian, the seductively lyrical, and the savagely nightmarish.
Naguib Mahfouz was born in 1911 in the crowded Cairo district of Gamaliya. He has written nearly 40 novel-length works, plus hundreds of short stories and numerous cinema plots and scenarios. He was awarded the Nobel prize for literature in 1988. He now lives in the Cairo suburb of Agouza with his wife and two daughters. Raymond Stock is the translator of Naguib Mahfouz's Voices from the Other World (AUC Press, 2002) and Khufu's Wisdom (AUC Press, 2003).
