Ahmed Zein

An acclaimed Yemeni novelist and cultural journalist born in Hodeidah, Ahmed Zein is recognized as one of the most compelling chroniclers of modern Yemeni history, exile, and political trauma. Currently based in Riyadh, his literary works include six major novels-most notably Steamer Point (2015), Fruit for the Crows (longlisted for the International Prize for Arabic Fiction in 2021), and Night Shooting (longlisted for the Sheikh Zayed Book Award in 2025). Fusing journalistic observation with dense, polyphonic prose, Zein’s literary project fearlessly peels back the layers of war, exile, and political corruption to reveal the human cost of national fragmentation.
