Mahfouz on Okasha's Influence on Nasser
The article discusses Naguib Mahfouz's remarks about his novel "Traitors Above the Nile," in which he explained that it reflects a warning about a national catastrophe related to the crisis of loss and disconnection from society, especially among intellectuals. Mahfouz indicated that the novel deals with a state of coma and self-suicide experienced by the characters, linking this condition to the historical phenomenon of the Hashashins, whose leader used hallucinations to incite violence. He also touched on the reactions of officials, particularly Marshal Abdel Hakim Amer, regarding his negative critique of society, his personal relationship with them, and the political and cultural influences that affected his novels. The novel was written during the era of Gamal Abdel Nasser and addressed themes related to belonging and identity. Through it, Mahfouz aimed to shed light on the social and intellectual issues of that time.
