Come and meet writer Jean Mohsen Fahmy. Born in 1942 in Cairo, Egypt, Mr. Fahmy now lives in Orléans, Ontario. He studied literature and linguistics in Egypt and Montréal, obtaining a PhD. He has had a long and fascinating career; his varied employment always focused on oral and written communication.
Mr. Fahmy is the author of many essays, stories and novels. His most recent work, La sultane dévoilée, is published by Éditions David.
