Arab Pioneer Novelist

Arab Pioneer Novelist
From time to time one feels the need for writing especially when need arises. Today I have read about an Arab great novelist who is Abd-al-Rahman Munif, in fact, I already heard about this intellectual man from one of works’ colleagues in Qatar who loved to read Munif’s novels.
The interest calls me to google about the great Arab creative artist Munif, this was after I have read an Arabic news website where it is mentioned that Munif’s tomb was profaned by unknown people.
This has pushed me more to search the web about this figure and I found a lot of very good information about him, though he was critic to Arab oil countries, when he was deprived from his Saudi citizeship.
He traveled very much because he was rebel and did not accept but the truth and justice. This revolutionist is unique in our Arab world because rarely we find people like him. He traveled very much, he was official in Arab governments, I can say that he is a man of high profile very experienced and wise.
The most interesting thing about private life is that his father is Saudi, his mother is Iraqi, he was born in Jordan in 1933, studied in Iraq and died in Syria in 2004… etc.
He wrote a lot of novels like most predominant of his works and of the century the six-chapter novel called “cities of salt” where he described how the oil has deep rooted impacts on the Gulf States, and he criticized Arab tyrant regimes in that times.
