Jamal Mahjoub (born in London in 1966) is a mixed-race writer of British and Sudanese parents. He writes in English and has published eight novels under his own name. In 2012, Mahjoub began writing a series of crime fiction novels under the pseudonym Parker Bilal. Writing in The Observer, Zoë Heller described Mahjoub's first novel, 'Navigation of a Rainmaker' as providing "a rich picture, both of Africa's vast, seemingly insuperable problems and of the moral dilemmas faced by a well-meaning, ineffectual stranger". The novel follows the journey of a young man from a mixed family who travels from Britain to the Sudan to claim his heritage from his father. As famine inexorably moves into the western part of the country, Tanner finds himself the embodiment of the same malaise gripping Africa. Mahjoub's first three novels can be loosely read as a trilogy of political events in Sudan. Emulating the turmoil and uncertaintly of the Sudan, his writing distinguishes itself by its dynamism. In 2001 in Italy, Mahjoub was a finalist for the 'La cultura del mare' prize, which was founded by Alberto Moravia. In 2004 in France, Mahjoub won the Prix de L'Astrolabe, an award given annually at the Etonnants Voyageurs festival in St Malo. In 2005, his short story, "The Obituary Tango" was shortlisted for the Caine Prize, and in 2006, a short story, "Carrer Princesa", won the NH Hotels Mario Vargas Llosa prize for short stories.
