Abstract
Nageeb Mahfouz is the earliest novelist in Arabic to focus on the homo sexual protagonist in his writing. Although the topic is objectionable in Islam, Mahfouz explores homosexuality in a sensitive manner, and r eveals the transformation in his views regarding the dilemma of the ho mosexual protagonist in a hostile environment.
