Mohamed Al-Naas, a writer from Libya and the 2022 recipient of the Booker International Prize for Arabic Novel, will be a guest at the Sharjah International Book Fair on November 5, 2022.
It is noteworthy that Muhammad Al-Naas, the first writer from Libya and the youngest writer to win the International Booker Award for Arabic Novel for his book “Bread on the Cultural Table Milad,” has established himself as a literary icon in the Libyan and Arab cultural scenes.
Mohamed Al-Naas spoke with the seventh day television during his visit to Cairo in July of last year and discussed a variety of events and viewpoints pertaining to the cultural scene in Libya as well as his first Arabic novel to win the prestigious award.
As opposed to what some people believe, Muhammad al-Naas realised during his interview with Seventh Day TV that Libyan literature is rich of well-known authors from around the world, such as Ibrahim Al-Ki’i.
Muhammad al -Naas indicated that his relationship with his mother is strange “as if the secret rope between us was not interrupted,” as he saw that the worst choice for any woman to marry a writer, and in the dialogue himself thanked his wife who supported him during his literary career.
Al-Na’wah also observed that the short story was losing readers and the poetry audience was growing, and that some believe the novel to be the current Diwan of the Arabs.
It is significant because journalist and storyteller Muhammad Al-Naas was born in Libya in 1991. In 2014, he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of Tripoli. In 2020, he released the anthology “Blue Blood.”
