AuthorNaguib Mahfouz
PublisherDiwan Publishing
A unique novel in its structure, composed of many tales that initially appear to be self-contained narrative units. However, as the pages turn, they coalesce to form a picture of the alley, or of the world as Mahfouz sees it, depicted through the eyes of a child who grew up in the alley and experienced its characters and circumstances. The tales begin with the Dervishes' tekke, with its mystery and symbolism, and return to it again after passing through the alley's inhabitants and narrating their astonishing stories. It was said that Mahfouz began writing it as a book inspired by his autobiography and personal experience, then it led him, or he led it, to broader horizons of imagination and contemplation. It was adapted into a play with the same title in 1990.
