CAIRO, Jan 28 (KUNA) -- The renowned Kuwaiti novelist, Ismail Fahad Ismail,
has voiced satisfaction at the solid bonds among Arab literature writers,
expressing his belief that young writers have much more courage than senior
ones in tackling taboo topics.
The short-story writer and literary critic affirmed necessity of
interaction among the Arab novelists, particularly the young writers,

senior novelists in addressing taboo issues.

Said Al-Kafrawy, an eminent Egyptian short-story writer, praised, in
remarks to KUNA, the Kuwaiti novelist, noting "his major role in the Arab
literature creativity.
"His works have contributed to development of the modern Arab literature."
"Ismail's novels have substantially added to the Arab cultural heritage for
he tackles sensitive issues."

satisfaction for taking part in the cultural event in the Egyptian capital.
