Key Information

Career

[edit]

Critic Shafe Qidwai said "Khalid Jawed does not bury the plot behind the heavy pall of magic realism technique and his style is imbued with a new artistic coherence and he weaves a series of memories and wistful experiences into a viable pattern. It is hoped that the Maut ki Kitab will be noticed in literary circles."[8]

The English translation of Jawed's novel Nemat Khana, The Paradise of Food', won the JCB Prize for Literature in 2022.[9][10]
