A world-renowned Lebanese novelist, journalist, and essayist born in Beirut, Hoda Barakat is recognized as one of the most distinguished and influential figures in modern Arabic literature. Having lived in Paris for decades, her works have been translated into dozens of languages. She is the recipient of prestigious international honors, including the International Prize for Arabic Fiction for The Night Mail, the Naguib Mahfouz Medal for Literature for The Tiller of Waters, and the Sheikh Zayed Book Award for Literature (2025) for Hind, or the Most Beautiful Woman in the World. She was also named Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters) and Chevalier de l’Ordre National du Mérite by the French government. Renowned for her dense, poetic, and uncompromising psychological realism, Barakat’s literary project fearlessly explores civil war trauma, exile, memory, and the fragmentation of human identity.
