Era uno dei più grandi scrittori arabi, al Tayeb Saleh. E’ morto a 80 anni, una settimana fa a Londra.
Gamal el-Ghitani, editor in chief of the Cairo-based literary weekly Akhbar al-Adab, described Saleh as “irreplaceable.”
“Saleh is one of world’s top novelists,” el-Ghitani said. “On personal level, he was a modest, wise and brave man who carried the essence of Sudan’s culture outside its borders.”
