In a recent magazine interview, the writers stressed to me the significance in writing in a second language. As a Bahraini, Arabic is my mother tongue. I realized that not many fiction writers write in other than their first language. Come to think of it, I’ve never heard of one before.
Certainly, no “Western” writer has previously attempted it. Of course, I could be mistaken. But I stand to be corrected. So if anyone knows of any non-Arab writer – of no Arab origins whatsoever – who writes or written fiction directly in Arabic, please give us a shout.
My reply to the writer was that perhaps the reason behind my writing in English, a second-language, was that I am attempting to reach out for the world… maybe a way of establishing communication, with humanity, on a subconscious level.
She said she can’t imagine an English-speaking author writing fiction in Arabic… I wish I could prove her wrong.
I’ve lately been contemplating starting work on a third novel. If you remember, I explained on this journal before, how I gave up on QuixotiQ for a very long time and turned my attention to another project (the one called Buried which I am halfway through now). I am itching to do the same now, and how that actually helped greatly in finishing QuixotiQ when I decided to give it another go!
I need a kick in the bum to get me into gear… ah, which reminds me, the 2005 Bahrain Grand Prix is only a couple of days away. And my Turn 1 grandstand tickets are ready in my pocket!
If that is of any interest to you, you might want to check out the Bahrain Grand Prix This Month special edition magazine - which I was the editor of. It is in the market now.
