Biography
Egyptian writer.
He is one of the pioneers of the Arabic novel and drama. He was the son of a wealthy Egyptian judge and a Turkish mother. The triumphs and failures that are represented by the reception of his enormous output of plays are emblematic of the issues that have confronted the Egyptian drama genre as it has endeavored to adapt its complex modes of communication to Egyptian society.
Hakim was viewed as something of a misogynist in his younger years, having written a few misogynistic articles and remaining a bachelor for an unusually long period of time; he was given the epithet, "Enemy of woman." However, he eventually married and had two children, a son and a daughter. He died on July 26, 1987.
