Was style lost in translation? The writing is stiff and lifeless, quite academic, perhaps a faithful translation of the writing, but a failure in capturing any vitality. Alas, I do not read Arabic, so I do not know if the original is more compelling--after all, Mahfouz did win the Nobel prize for literature!
