Yousef Al-Mohaimeed's Storytelling Transcends Bansnew
Wolves of the Crescent Moon was banned in Saudi Arabia by theocratic thought-cops for casting too many spotlights on societal problems that the authorities insist don't exist. Upon being labeled dangerous and sinful, the book gained a large audience throughout the Arabic-speaking world, and has since been translated into French and English.
