Patrick Süskind Baghdad - Asharq Al-Awsat
Iraqi publishing house Dar Al Mada is preparing to release a new Arabic version of Patrick Süskind s famous novel The Pigeon , translated by Kamiran Hoj. The introduction of the book is written by Iraqi novelist Ali Badr.
Patrick Süskind has one photo shared in public. It shows a skinny man with handsome features, smart eyes, and a bald patch at the front of his head. No one saw another picture of the writer. Although journalists chased him everywhere, none of them managed to capture a photo of his face or even draw him in a portrait. Süskind made only four interviews in his entire life and refused to appear publicly on TVs or at festivals.
