	Abdelrahman Munif
		Munif is one of the most prominent Arab novelists to have used modernist narrative techniques.
		In the 1990s Munif returned to the theme of the freedom of individuals and the status of the intellectual, which he had dealt with earlier in such novels as Al-Ashjar wa-ightiyal and Sharq al Mutawassit (1977), the story of a political activist who is tortured in prison in an unnamed country.
		However, Munif has insisted that the work is fiction - there is no direct association of events and characters in the novel with the "facts" of history.

		Recently, at long last, the first part of Cities of Salt, the famous sequence of novels by Abdul Rahman Munif, was finally published in German.
		Yet many Arabs may well be asking themselves why the book has only been translated now, a full 20 years after it first appeared in Arabic.
