Elias Khoury

Elias Khoury (; born 12 July 1948) is a Lebanese novelist and public intellectual. His novels and literary criticism have been translated into several languages. In 2000, he won the Prize of Palestine for his book ''Gate of the Sun'', and he won the Al Owais Award for fiction writing in 2007. Khoury has also written three plays and two screenplays.

From 1993 to 2009, Khoury served as an editor of ''Al-Mulhaq'', the weekly cultural supplement of the Lebanese daily newspaper ''Al-Nahar.'' He also taught at universities in Middle Eastern and European countries, and the United States.

The notion that Palestinians suffer from a continuous Nakba is a leitmotif running through much of his work. Provided by Wikipedia
