The Secret Life of Saeed, The Ill-Fated Pessoptimist: A Palestinian Who Became a Citizen of Israel (Arabic: الوقائع الغريبة في اختفاء سعيد أبي النحس المتشائل) is a 1974 satirical epistolary novel by Emile Habibi. The novel's name comes from merging the Arabic words for pessimist (al-mutasha'im المتشائم) and optimist (al-mutafa'il المتفائل), to describe the narrator Saeed's unique way of viewing the world. Saeed, the novel's narrator, frequently recounts tragic events related to his family and the plight of Palestinians, but he adds in comic flourishes to highlight his "optimistic" side.
