Naguib Mahfouz at the "Ali Baba" Cafe in Cairo

Photo by John Green

Mr. Mahfouz gave the photographer permission to take his picture early one morning, while he read the paper at his favorite table before going to work. He used to go there everyday and make himself available to just about anyone who wanted to talk to him.
