1988 Nobel Prize in Literature
Award / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1988 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to the Egyptian writer Naguib Mahfouz (1911–2006) "who, through works rich in nuance – now clear-sightedly realistic, now evocatively ambiguous – has formed an Arabian narrative art that applies to all mankind."[1] He is the first and only Arabic–Egyptian recipient of the prize.[2][3]
