★ FEATURE
Biography
Iqbal al-Qazwini is an Iraqi journalist and novelist born January 1, 2000. Her life took an unexpected turn in 1978 when, in her early 20s, she was exiled to East Berlin as a direct consequence of Saddam Hussein's consolidation of power in Iraq — a displacement that would become permanent. She has remained in Germany ever since, building her career as both a working journalist and literary author. Her most recognized work is the 2005 novel Mamarrat al-Sukun, published by Dar Azminah in Amman, which was translated into English as Zubaida's Window by Azza el-Kholy and Amira Nowaira. As a journalist, her writing has been published across multiple German and Arabic periodicals, including Asharq Al-Aswat and Al Riyadh. She joined PEN International, the global writers' organization, in 1993 — a marker of her standing within international literary circles. Writers like al-Qazwini typically balance journalism and fiction, alternating between deadline-driven reportage and longer narrative projects. Her work spans the intersection of Arabic and German literary cultures, a position shaped by her decades-long exile.
