| Salma El-Sharkawy |
French screenwriter, novelist, literary critic, and translator. He was born in Marseille, France. The majority of his early years and teens were spent in Malakoff, a suburb in southern Paris, where he dropped out of school without earning a degree in an effort to support himself through his writing. Before going back to France, he spent a semester teaching French at a college for the blind in Worcester, England. He started working on a number of varied projects in 1965 with the goal of fulfilling his first dream, which was to become a screenwriter for motion pictures. The most important works derived from his novels include To Kill a Cop (1981), Nada (1974), Folle à tuer (1975), and Three Men to Kill (1980). He died on June 3, 1995, in Paris, France.
