Biography
In 2012, William Hutchins translated the novel Al-Diesel into English, the first edition of which was published in Beirut in 1994. In his introduction to it, he said that the novel is "a different literary style that carries the features of the contemporary story, written in a poetic language close to the prose poem, and it is close to direct artistic narration."
