A Great Mind Departs...
Not just a great mind has departed but also a great symbol of tolerance, Egyptian identity, pride and hope has departed...
Naguib Mahfouz has left our world...
He wrote the Cairo Trilogy, Children of the Alley (that got him nearly killed in the 90s, since it has been considered blasphemous by the more fundamentalist Muslims), Chatter over the Nile, The Thief and the Dogs, The Quail and the Autumn, Miramar and much more...
Being at IC in Poland and being disconnected from the World...I found out through a friend's msn's screen name...Unexpectedly I shed a tear...Naguib Mahfouz and his work symbolize an Egypt that loves, an Egypt that co-exists, an Egypt that tolerates, an Egypt with hope...
I hope that Egypt had more Naguibs... ¶ 10:12 AM
