Happy birthday, Naguib Mahfouz
His face is in important ways synonymous with the history of this country in the 20th century. Two revolutions and four wars have come and gone, changing Egypt irrevocably, it seems. He has changed too, inevitably: grown wiser, and older, as the passing years strip away superfluity, paring him down to the bare essentials. He has turned 89 now -- barely less than a decade shy of a century old himself. Happy birthday, Naguib Mahfouz.
