In 2002-03, Ahdal's novel Qawarib Jabaliya (Mountain Boats) created a considerable amount of controversy in Yemen and he was forced to leave the country due to threats from radical conservatives. He spent some time in Lebanon before returning to Yemen. A more recent novel The Quarantine Philosopher was nominated for the Arab Booker Prize in 2008. In 2010, Ahdal was selected as one of the Beirut39, a group of 39 Arab writers under the age of 40 chosen through a contest organised by Banipal magazine and the Hay Festival. He was also chosen by IPAF to be one of the seven participants in its writers' workshop (nadwa).[2] Ahdal's work has appeared in English translation in a number of anthologies:
His novel A Land without Jasmine was translated into English by William M. Hutchins and published by Garnet Publishing [3] The translation won the 2013 Banipal Prize for Arabic Literary Translation.[4] He currently works in the cinema and drama department of the Yemeni Ministry of Culture.
