Alexandre Najjar

Alexandre Najjar was born on 5 February 1967 in Beirut, into a family established in Achrafieh and originally from Deir el-Qamar, in the Chouf. He studied law in Paris and became a lawyer, while pursuing a career as a writer: he has published some thirty novels, narratives, poems and biographies, and relaunched the literary supplement of the daily L'Orient-Le Jour. In 2020 the Académie française awarded him the grand prix de la Francophonie, which rewards a body of work that has served the influence of the French language.
