Ya'qub Bilbul (Arabic: يعقوب بلبل, Hebrew: יעקב (בלבול) לב, also transliterated Jacob Bilbul and Ya'coub Balbul; 1920–2003) was an Iraqi Jewish writer.[1][2] His literary works were published in Arabic, and he achieved recognition as early as 1936 after publishing an article in the Iraqi journal, Al-Hatif.[3] Known for his naturalistic stories, he is considered one of the first writers of social realist fiction in Iraq, and a pioneer of the Iraqi novel and short story.[4][5][6]
