About “Midaq Alley”

Midaq Alley brings to life the residents of a hustling, teeming back alley of Cairo in the 1940s, including Zaita the cripple-maker, cafe owner Kirsha, barber Abbas, and Hamida, who sells her soul to escape the alley. Written by Nobel Prize-winner Naguib Mahfouz, it is considered by many his best novel.
