LOOKING FOR MY NICHE PEOPLE ! ******* Anyone else here completely obsessed with obscure, out-of-print Arabic novels from the 60s–90s?

I know this is a long shot, but I’m putting this message out into the digital void in hopes of finding my people.

Is anyone else here deeply fascinated by or obsessed with out-of-print Arabic literature from the 1960s through the 1990s? I’m talking about those rare, obscure, almost forgotten novels that are nearly impossible to track down today, the ones you usually only find tucked away in old downtown secondhand bookshops or forgotten family attics.

I’m thinking of authors like:

• بيار روفايل
• فؤاد القصاص
• وفيق العلايلي
• عزيز أرماني
• حاتم خوري
• علياء هوغو دالاتي

...and so many others from that era whose work has largely faded from public discussion.

I realize the chances of finding people who share this very specific, niche interest might be pretty low, but if you happen to be one of them and wherever in the world you are ! I would genuinely love to connect and chat : )
