Editing Cairo Trilogy (section)

==Translations==

The ''Cairo Trilogy'' was first translated into Hebrew between 1981 and 1987. Mahfouz was very satisfied by this and saw it as another proof that the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty of 1979 should be supported. The English translation was published by [[Doubleday (publisher)|Doubleday]] in the early 1990s. The translators were:
* ''Palace Walk'' - [[William M. Hutchins]] and [[Olive Kenny]]
* ''Palace of Desire'' - Hutchins, Olive Kenny and [[Lorne Kenny]]
* ''Sugar Street'' - Hutchins, Olive Kenny and [[Angele Botros Samaan]]

The translation was overseen by [[Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis]], an editor at Doubleday at the time, and Martha Levin.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://archives.iu.edu/catalog/InU-Li-VAA1274 |title=Hutchins mss., 1972-2002 |publisher=Indiana University |access-date=28 June 2022}}</ref>
