Tunisian Novel Wins the Khaled Khalifa Award
The general secretariat of the Khaled Khalifa Novel Award announced on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, that Tunisian writer Imad Ali Qeida had won the award. He won for “Al-Munsarimun,” his first unpublished novel. The prize is worth one thousand US dollars.
The novel’s events move between two periods. The first period goes back to the nineteenth century, while the second portrays life in Tunisia after the revolution. The story takes place in the city of Nabeul.
The judging panel praised the novel’s structure and narrative style. It said that the work uses real and imagined characters to present Tunisia’s history and changes in its society. Palestinian writer Liana Badr chaired the panel.
The award is named after the late Syrian novelist Khaled Khalifa. It was established in 2024 by his friends on the first anniversary of his death. The winner is due to be honored and receive the prize in the Syrian city of Latakia on September 30.
