The International Prize for Arabic Fiction (IPAF) is the most prestigious and important literary prize in the Arab world and is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2017. It is given to a novel in Arabic which IPAF’s judges consider to be the best of that year.
Its aim is to reward excellence in contemporary Arabic creative writing and to encourage the readership of high quality Arabic literature internationally through the translation and publication of winning and shortlisted novels in other major languages.
