April Book Club Selection

I really liked our April selection, a collection of three stories by the Egyptian author Naguib Mahfouz( pn. Na-gib(long i) Ma- fooz(long oo).

There is a very interesting short biography of Mahfouz at Wikopedia which I recommend.


"Autumn Quail", one of the stories, has a hopeful twist at the end. "Thief and the Dogs", another of the stories, follows a principled rebel(in a strange way) who chooses, at the end, his fate.
