Saudi American author Eman Quotah discusses her new novel, ‘The Night Is Not For You’
JEDDAH: Saudi-American author Eman Quotah blurs the line between the real and the monstrous in her new novel “The Night Is Not For You,” a feminist horror tale about a string of murders that send shockwaves through a community.
Quotah’s debut novel, “Bride of the Sea,” won the Arab American Book Award in 2022 and established her as a distinctive voice in Arab-American literature.
The author was born and raised in Jeddah, but she draws deeply from a life lived between continents, languages, and traditions. She currently lives in the US, near Washington D.C., with her family.
