Utopia book cover by Egyptian author Ahmed Khaled TawfikCAIRO – 4 April 2018: Contrary to most stories that you might be hearing about growing up as a teenager and being inspired by Egyptian author Ahmed Khaled Tawfik’s pocketbook series “Ma Wara Al-Tabia” (Supernatural), I didn't. “How didn't you read it,” he rebuked, more than wondering. He tried to send me the series to read online, but again, I felt too old to read the pocketbook series!Maybe that was a mistake. That was his way of ringing the alarm bell, and surely everyone who read the novel understood it.Since then, I turned into a loyal fan of Ahmed Khaled Tawfik. What made Tawfik different was that he was not just another storyteller, but he understood and wrote our worst thoughts and fears and spoke our minds.
