About this title: Readers of Mahfouz's fiction will find many of the same themes that run through his fiction in this autobiography--his preoccupation with old age, death and life's transitory moments--all treated with his characteristic wry good humor. Also of special interest is a number of passages that he devotes to the aphoristic sayings of the traditional Sufi masters, a contribution to the literature of Islam that has had a profound influence on his own writing.
