Samir Naqqash
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Samir Naqqash is a Jewish novelist, short-story writer, and playwright, born in Baghdad in 1938. He died in the Israeli town of Petah Tiqva in 2004. He received his degree in Arabic literature at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and was one of the last and probably the most important Jewish writers to continue writing in Arabic throughout his career. He was well know in the Arab world and among the Iraqi community in Israel, but only one of his works was ever translated into Hebrew.
