Mohammed Alnaas: Bread on Uncle Milad’s Table

In 2022, Mohammed Alnaas received the prestigious International Prize for Arabic Fiction (IPAF), also known as the Arabic Booker, for his novel »Khobz ’ala tawila al-khal Milad« [tr: Bread on Uncle Milad’s Table]. The work reflects a variety of personal experiences skillfully brought together through a compelling narrative. As a novel, it is also a profound critique of prevailing notions of masculinity and femininity and the social implications of the division of labor.

Read by Benito Bause.

Hosted by Katharine Halls.
