BIG BOOKS; PALACE WALK BY NAGUIB MAHFOUZ

7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Glencoe Public Library
Hammond Room

This six-week Big Books discussion series will meet every Thursday night from April 13 through May 18. Please note that the discussions will take place in the library's Hammond Room (not on Zoom).

Palace Walk is the first novel in a highly lauded trilogy by Egyptian Nobel Prize in Literature winner Naguib Mahfouz. Set in Cairo during WWI, the drama takes place inside the house of the Jawad family. Strict and pious father al-Sayyid Ahmad Abd al-Jawad holds his family in a steel grip while he hypocritically indulges in after-hours pleasures of city nightlife. His devoted wife, Amina, is forbidden by her husband to leave the four walls of their house, but longs to know what happens outside them. Daughters Khadija and Aisha desire proper Muslim marriages to respectable men so they can follow in the footsteps of their parents. Sons Yasin, Fahmy, and Kamal all struggle with their father’s harsh demands and yet admire the respect he commands in the community. Al-Sayyid Admad is a staunch guardian of tradition, but there is constant tension from the outside world pushing for change. Ultimately, even this father’s iron will cannot stop the forces of transformation in his country and on his family. Experienced Big Books leader Holly Marihugh, M.A., returns to guide the discussions.

Big Books, our longstanding discussion series around significant works of literature, is presented in partnership with the Friends of the Glencoe Public Library. Registration is required. Glencoe residents take priority if the class fills up.
