A student of philosophy and an avid reader, he was influenced by many Western writers, including Flaubert, Balzac, Zola, Camus, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and, above all, Proust. He had more than thirty novels to his credit, ranging from his early historical romances to his later experimental novels. In 1988, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Mahfouz died in 2006. Peter Theroux is the author of Sandstorms: Days and Nights in Arabia (1990) and Translating LA (1994). He is the translator of several major Arabic novels.
