Born in El Jadida, Morocco, in 1926, Driss Chraibi had a French education in Casablanca. He went to Paris at age twenty in order to study chemistry and neuro-psychiatry, though he eventually turned to literature and journalism. His first novel was published in 1954, two years before Morocco gained its independence from France. He has written many subsequent novels, some of them dealing with the issue of colonialism. Others also sound very autobiographical since they are written in the first person by a main character named Driss. Being autobiographical is entirely possible, since he like his characters is caught between two worlds, the East and the West, Arab and French. Chraibi is the only Moroccan writer who has received international attention.

French-Moroccan novelist, considered to be the father of the modern Moroccan novel. Chraïbi's works draw heavily on his own life. Central theme in his novels is the clash between different cultures, the East and the West, Arab and French. Chraïbi's range of style changes from epic to comedy. He has been among the pioneers of Maghrebian writers to explore the oppression of women and children in an Islamic, patriarchal society.
