What about Arabic literature from the second half of the 20th c. onwards?

This article seems to cover Modern Arabic Literature up to the mid-1900s, and should be expanded by sections on later periods and writers. - In the article about Arabic literature, there is this final paragraph that could be used for such a continuation. But as there are no sources for it, I will leave this for another editor who might have time and interest in this: "Since the mid-20th century, there has been an increase of translations of Arabic books into other languages, and Arabic authors began to receive a certain amount of acclaim. Egyptian writer Naguib Mahfouz had most of his works translated after he won the 1988 Nobel Prize for Literature. Other writers, including Abdul Rahman Munif and Tayeb Salih have found critical acclaim by Western scholars, and both Alaa Al Aswany's The Yacoubian Building and Rajaa al-Sanea's Girls of Riyadh attracted significant Western media attention in the first decade of the 21st century."
