Abdel Hakim Qasem

Abdel Hakim Qasem (Arabic: عبد الحكيم قاسم alternate transliteration: Abd al-Hakim Qasim) (1934–1990) is considered one of the most significant authors in Egyptian literature during the past thirty years.

[1][2] Judith Caesar of the American University of Sharjah wrote that Qasem was "relatively little-known".

During the 1950s he moved to Cairo, and began writing until the 1960s when he was imprisoned for four years, for his political associations, by the Nasser government.

He wrote five novels, four novellas, five short story collections, and one play.
