Naguib Mahfouz, 1911-2006 by Missy Dustin, Supervisor, Customer Service Support Egyptian novelist, Naguib Mahfouz, winner of the 1988 Nobel Prize in Literature, died August 30, 2006 in Cairo. He was 94. Mahfouz was born in the old quarter of the city and used that as the setting for many of his books. He studied philosophy at the University of Cairo, graduating in 1932, and then began writing novels and short stories. "The Cairo Trilogy," published in the late 1950's, was his masterwork and the one for which he is best known. He was the first Arab writer to receive the Nobel Prize and his style has been compared to that of Balzac. In total, Mahfouz wrote 33 novels, 13 anthologies of short stories, several plays and 30 screenplays. Below is a list of titles by Naguib Mahfouz, available from YBP and Baker & Taylor.
