Wasn't it written orginally in English?

On my colleague Agnese Boscarol's query:

Most of Jabra's canon is available in English translation.  *Hunters in
a Narrow Streets *was  written originally in English and published in  
1960.
A two-volume autobiography: *The First Well *& *The Princess' Street*  
are
translated by Isa Bullata. Jabra's.  Other works of fiction: *In  
Search of
Walid Masoud *and *Ship *are translated jointly by Roger Allen and Adnan
Haydar.

As for his early novel, *Suraakh fi laylin Tawiil* ("Screaming in a long
night,"  1955; rpt. 5th. edn. by Dar Aldab), my sources lead to me to
suppose that it hasn't been rendered yet in English.  For further
confirmation, please, pass your query to *Al-Adab*, and the editor  
and his
wife will likely to provide with proper and more solid information.   
With my
kind  regards.
