“Ahmed Al-Khamisi is a masterful writer, capable of concise and poignant expression, filled with vivid imagery. He treats his words with rare seriousness, crafting his sentences, stories, and meanings like a jeweler working with precious gold, or a warrior defending his homeland. He possesses an aesthetic sensibility that is only satisfied when the language becomes transparent and settles on the shores of music.” – Great critic Alaa Al-Deeb, Al-Qahira Newspaper.

“The stories of Ahmed Al-Khamisi represent high models of the capabilities of one of the great Arab story writers. He grants his narrative models a comprehensive vision, blending—both delicately and firmly—the personal human aspect with the national public one. He is a great writer with a spirit of humility, vast and deep culture that moves from the local to the global, and a rare knowledge of the finest models of human literature.” – Storyteller Dr. Mohamed Al-Makhzangi, Akhbar Al-Youm.
