<p>Sayed El-Wakil is an Egyptian novelist and critic, but he transcends these narrow classifications, being one of the prominent in the general cultural field, because of his critical and analytical opinions, and his reflections on reading the Egyptian cultural scene. On the contrary of his personality, which tends to be calm and non-conflicting on media appearances, his creative and critical writings are full of a lot of boldness and serious and new ideas, which puts him at the forefront of the innovators in modern Egyptian literature, starting with his novel (a little above life), which was published in the nineties and inspired many of this generation. And followed by other works such as:The Basada Street- El Halah Diet-At a glance. </p>
