Hilal Chouman

Hilal Chouman (Arabic: هلال شومان) (born 1982) is a Lebanese novelist and writer. He was born in Beirut and studied communications and electronics engineering at Jâmi'at Bâyrut Al-Arabiya.

Writing

Literary scholars have described Chouman's writing as Post–Cold War era or post-Lebanese Civil War, with emphasis on the ordinary or mundane.[2][3] Chouman himself disagrees with the designations of war or post-war based on time of publication.[4] His writing also features more contemporary life in Beirut.[5]
