520    "Yusuf Idris (1927-91), who belonged to the same 
       generation of pioneering Egyptian writers as Naguib 
       Mahfouz and Tawfiq al-Hakim, is widely celebrated as the 
       father of the Arabic short story, just as Mahfouz is 
       considered the father of the Arabic novel. He studied and 
       practiced medicine, but his interests were in politics and
       the support of the nationalist struggle, and in writing-
       and his writing, whether in his regular newspaper columns 
       or in his fiction, often reflected his political 
       convictions. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize for 
       literature more than once, and when the prize went to 
       Naguib Mahfouz in 1988, Idris felt that he had been passed
       over because of his outspoken views on Israel. In all, 
       Yusuf Idris wrote some twelve collections of superbly 
       crafted short stories, mainly about ordinary, poor people,
       many of which have been translated into English and are 
       included in this collection, along with an extract from 
       one of his novels, in this collection of the best of his 
       work." -- Book jacket.
