In Egypt attacks on the journalist Farag Foda and Nobel laureate Neguib Mahfouz represented a turning point before subsequent attacks on tourists met with widespread international condemnation. The Nobel Prize-winning Egyptian novelist, Naguib Mahfouz, for example, in his novella about the death of Anwar Sadat, The Day the Leader Was Killed, presents a character who sees the inscription from Dante's hell "ENTER HERE WITHOUT HOPE" on a sign over a food company in Cairo, Egypt. Such leading writers as Yusuf Idris and Naguib Mahfouz did use fantastic elements, especially in their short tales, but most Arab novelists remained faithful to an established tradition of social realism. |
