These pieces are meditations which echo that which was, has been, and is the writer Mahfouz. They are--in the words of the title of one of the prose pieces-- 'The Dialogue of the Late Afternoon' of his life. I don't believe any autobiography, with is inevitable implication of self-presentation,could have matched what we have here."
--From the Foreword B Nadine Gordimer
"A haunting commonplace book of tranquil wisdom."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Fascinating... the book's greatest value by far is the sense the reader gets of Mahfouz himself--his deep but far from blind affection for the human race."
--Chicago Tribune
"Mahfouz first nonfiction book to be published in English, this mosaic of autobiographical vignettes, reflections, allegories, childhood memories, dream visions and sufi-like spiritual maxims and paradoxes is a deep pool of wisdom that confirms his stature as a writer of universal appeal.
--Publishers Weekly
