He’s worked as a journalist since he was sixteen, and also a book editor and radio broadcaster in Beirut, Paris (Radio Monte Carlo), Athens (Harlequin Arab World), London (BBC World Service) and Sydney. His published works include in Arabic, one novel, seven collections of poetry and one of short stories, one play for radio and four for theatre. He has two other novels in English – The Last Migration (Panache Publications) and The Myrtle Tree (Banipal Books).
