"... a spontaneous philosophical life described by different narrow set of educated & non educated cairo's people. who want to imagine a certain pro arab thinking with nargille and scent of nile....just find a good atmosphere and of course the book...enjoy!"

"When Mahfouz won the Nobel Prize, I was interested in reading his work, and for some reason this was the book I chose from those few on the library shelf. The nicest thing I can say about it is that the prose was good enough that I read the whole thing and it made a lasting impression. Unfortunately the impression it made was negative, discouraging me from ever reading Mahfouz again.

I suppose that when a writer is prolific, some of his stories may be little backwaters where nothing happens. This one is a like a poor movie with a good actor or two but without any kind of enlightening ending. Mahfouz doesn't like these characters. He puts them in the same story structure as the semi-celebrated film Abigail's Party: characters who never gain any insight over the course of the story and eventually somebody gets hurt and our stupid characters pause for a moment and reflect, gee, somebody got hurt. There's no catharsis in this plot and not nearly enough action to redeem the omission."

By Philking, Tallahassee, FL

"Should be read as a companion piece to Camus' 'The Fall.' Divides the world's attitudes into a dichotomy of 'Seriousness'-which ignores the inherent meaningless of reality, and 'Absurd'- which is truer but unsatisfying. Finds some solace in opiates, women, and friends, but ultimately implies existence is a solitary quest (and possibly unanswerable)."
