Naguib Mahfouz: The Thief and the Dogs


"What a lot of graves there are laid out as far as the eye can see! Their headstones are like hands raised in surrender, though they are beyond being threatened by anything. A city of silence and truth, where success and failure, murderer and victim come together, where thieves and policeman lie side by side in peace for the first and last time.”
