Pretend my finger's a knife.

Naguib Mahfouz is one of the most famous Egyptian writers. I read excerpts from him in an Arabic class I took, but my Arabic isn't nearly at a good enough level to read an entire novel (of his, at least) so I read the translation.


My exposure to Egyptian literature only extends to Yacoubian Building, and I'm very interested in reading more. The Amazon description says that the translation is lackluster - what issues does it have?
