We need an Arabic expert to put in the original titles in Arabic!--Sonjaaa 16:48, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I put in the Arabic for Zabibah the King.--68.170.86.111 23:01, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If this is a list, it's a short one. Why isn't this merged with Saddam Hussein? Was this page created b/c Saddam Hussein was too big? Turly-burly 05:27, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • I believe the list can be expanded, actually. Anyway, the other article is enormous. But I know the real reason I like this separate is because when I saw this in the news, I typed in the title of one of the novels into search to read about it right away. I didn't go to the main article to skim through Gulf War information just to get to the part about the novels. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 19:56, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've added this page in the 'See also' section of Saddam Hussein. Meanwhile, I've also cleaned it up. I suggest expanding to include some effects of his writings, rather than simply a collection of summaries. - SpLoT / (talk) 15:50, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Translations

[edit]

Are there no english (or french, I guess?) translations of his works? I'd be interested in reading his books but I don't read arabic or japanese. --A Sunshade Lust 16:53, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

alas, I'm pretty sure there isn't. I've been searching for along time and have found nothing :( Although I do have an arabic version of Zabibah and the king I picked up in Londonistan and can safely say you're not missing much, it's a bit of a crime against the humanities(bad pun, sorry). Mostly his characters sit around talking about nothing in particular in florrid prose but with sentences that randomly end in creepy political rhetoric. O_o Elmo 08:04, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Cancel that, although Saddam's presidental publisher al-hurriah(means freedom btw) didn't publish an english language translation apparently Zabibah and the king was translated into english in 2004 post-saddams capture, no idea who published it though, no one I know..
