An acclaimed Iraqi novelist, journalist, and translator based in Norway. Jirjees is celebrated as one of the most distinctive and brilliant masters of tragicomedy and dark satire in contemporary Arab literature. He is a two-time shortlisted author for the prestigious International Prize for Arabic Fiction for his novels The Stone of Happiness (2023) and The Valley of the Butterflies (2025), having also been longlisted in 2020 for Sleeping in the Cherry Field. Renowned for his effortless storytelling, biting wit, and profound empathy for the marginalized, Jirjees’s fiction fearlessly excavates the human aftermath of war, displacement, and institutional absurdity in post-2003 Iraq.
