Suhail Muhammad Najib writes: Joint writing and dual or group authorship are common in scientific and ethnic heritage. However, in literary works, it is a risk. This phenomenon is not new; Arabic heritage includes examples like the epistles of Ikhwan al-Safa. This new form of writing is like a "confederation" in political systems, where authors share intellectual powers within a framework of agreement.

Recently, specialists in politics, economics, medicine, and technology have collaborated on references. Even literary figures have joined in. A prominent Arabic example is the collaboration between Abdul Rahman Munif and Jabra Ibrahim Jabra in the novel "A World Without Maps." Earlier, Taha Hussein and Tawfiq al-Hakim wrote "The Enchanted Castle." These collaborations require the writers to be from the same school of thought, sharing a single vision. While some critics see it as a successful fusion, others see it as inconsistent. Despite the challenges of narrative, imagination, and language, joint writing provides a way to break the monopoly of a single author and offer multiple perspectives on human issues.
