Wikipedia, June 3, 2013 (Kateb Yacine (August 2, 1929 or August 6, 1929-October 28, 1989) was an Algerian writer notable for his novels and plays, both in French and Algerian Arabic dialect; officially born on August 6, 1929 in Constantine, though it is likely that his birth occurred four days earlier. Although his birth name is Yacine Kateb, he once said that he was so used to hearing his teachers calling out names with the last name first that he adopted Kateb Yacine as a pen name; died Grenoble, France)
