Edit ProfileCareer
He has since worked for a number of cultural publications in various capacities. In his acceptance speech, Sweileh mentioned that as a village boy, his chance discovery of a tattered copy of Mahfouz"s novel Khufu"s Wisdom was partly responsible for inspiring his love of literature. His previous novels include Express Mail (2004), Do Not Blame Maine (2006), and Zuhur, Sara, and Nariman (2008).
Sweileh"s novels have yet to be translated into English.
