Meeting with Author Ahmad Mohsen and Discussion of his 2 Novels

On April 7th, 2016, we had our meeting at Antoine's Bookstore, Beirut Souks Branch, at 5:30 p.m. to discuss author Ahmad Mohsen's 2 novels وارسو قبل قليل and صانع الألعاب in his presence.



Salam introduced the author and inquired about his love of books, writing, and journalism. After we got to know him better, Rihab led the discussion of وارسو قبل قليل which has been longlisted for the Arab Booker Prize 2016. After a short break, Hoda led the discussion of صانع الألعاب which was longlisted in 2014-2015 for Sheikh Zayed fiction prize for young writers.


This meeting has been by far the funniest and most enjoyable in the presence of an author. We thank Ahmad Mohsen for his honesty, attitude, and for making this meeting a success. We will be awaiting the publication of his third novel which we are eager to read and discuss with him.
