Khalid Jawed (born 9 March 1960) is an Indian novelist. Some of his works include Aakhri Dawat, Nemat Khana[1] and Maut ki Kitab,[2][3] critically acclaimed for his unique style and narrative. He served as a professor at Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi.[4] Jawed is also considered an expert on popular literature.[5][6] He is equally popular in India and Pakistan.[7]
Critic Shafe Qidwai said "Khalid Jawed does not bury the plot behind the heavy pall of magic realism technique and his style is imbued with a new artistic coherence and he weaves a series of memories and wistful experiences into a viable pattern. It is hoped that the Maut ki Kitab will be noticed in literary circles."[8]
The English translation of Jawed's novel Nemat Khana, The Paradise of Food', won the JCB Prize for Literature in 2022.[9][10]
