"A short, early story by one of my favorite contemporary authors. My daughter read this and thought it sucked ... big time. What does she know? Mahfouz is a master of the simple parable ... he's no Pynchon, thank God!"
"I've been meaning to read this book for several months now. It wasn't as wonderful as anticipated, but was still a worthwhile read. The book follows a young man's journey, both physically and spiritually, as he grows up in the Middle East. Although this was a very quick and easy read, I continued to ponder the book long after I finished reading."
