Think Naguib Mahfouz, then take your expectations down several notches
Wassim has been writing stories since the fourth grade, when he plagiarised the opening crawl from “Star Wars: A New Hope” for a class assignment.
He started taking the craft seriously after an author friend said, “Hey, you should really write a novel or something, mate”, and Wassim replied, “Yeah. Maybe I will.”
Ten years later he completed his first novel, Damaskopolis. It’s kind of like Bladerunner, but with a fez.
Wassim is a British-Syrian author. He lives in Reading, the Riviera of Berkshire, with his wife Ewa, and their son, Dani.
