I Found Myself...The Last Dreams

In this mix of vivid vignettes linked together by the author''s precisely rendered nightly wanderings through Cairo, figures from Mahfouz''s personal life blend with his anxieties about Egypt''s political past and future. Each dream is layered with philosophical musings, hopes and desperations, fidelities and disappointments. Over the course of the book they build to a lush and complex picture of Mahfouz'' subconscious.<>
