Is it any surprise, then, that search engines are no longer the most...
...sketching every detail of his characters' lives and personalities before weaving them into his narratives - he is also zealous about the artist's role as social critic. Rarely has that burden seemed more important in the Middle East, with Al Aswany serving as a relatively lonely advocate of liberalism caught in a struggle against an entrenched authoritarian regime on one hand and a rising, chauvinistic Islamist movement on the other.
