Alaa Khaled (born in 1960 in Alexandria, Egypt) defies boundaries. After studying biochemistry, he worked as a poet, essayist and novelist. He is tireless in his endeavours to break out of every constriction and restriction, doing away in his writing with the formal boundaries separating genres and moving between them. As a poet he is at home in the prose poem. His journalism has a literary character, while his prose has poetic and journalistic touches. Khaled is a determined opponent of any norms that force the individual into prescribed patterns of thought and behaviour. Thus, his understanding of himself as 'I as subject' runs as a thread through his entire literary work.

Khaled is also well-known as the editor of the cultural journal 'Amkenah', founded in 1999, which enjoys a high reputation throughout the Arab world. 'Amkenah' ('Places') sees itself as a forum for a linguistically and artistically unconventional real-life confrontation with the 'place' as a concrete space, but also as a a concept of ideas.

Khaled's reportage “Everything Happens Quietly With No Surprises” (Alexandria 12/2004) was nominated for the Lettre Ulysses Award in 2005.
