Is "The Heart of the Night" a novel or a short story? I read "Palace Walk", the first installment of the Cairo Trilogy and was captivated by his writing. As an Indonesian, a Moslem majority country which is a former Western colony, I recognized some of the themes Mahfoud addressed. Him, early Rusdhie and Pamuk have this in common. This piece is one of your better ones BTW. Well done!
