English SF/Fantasy author John Whitbourn has published "The Book of Farouk", a fantasy-tinged fictional ‘autobiography' by Farouk, depicting him as a towering global statesman bestriding 20th century history, and an incomparable erotic "artiste" besides. "Nothing is True… – The First Book of Farouk" was published in 2018, followed in 2019 by its concluding companion, "And Everything is Permissible - The Second Book of Farouk", covering the deposed King's sybaritic European exile, 1952–65. The latter's title completes the former’s citing of valedictory words attributed to Hassan-i Sabbah, twelfth century founder of the Order of Assassins.
