Abdullah Al-Baghdadi is an Egyptian novelist and storyteller, born in Cairo in the early 1990s. He grew up steeped in the golden age of Arabic literature - shaped by the poetry of Ahmad Shawqi, the sharp intellect of Abbas Al-Aqqad, and the timeless prose of Naguib Mahfouz. Yet perhaps the closest literary thread runs through his own blood: the celebrated Egyptian poet Dr. Farouk Shousha - a relative whose love of language and the Arabic word left an indelible mark on Abdullah's voice as a writer.
He writes from Cairo, carrying the weight of a rich literary inheritance - and the quiet ambition to add his own chapter to it.
