Emerging Arab Voices: Peter Clark in Conversation
In November 2009, the International Prize for Arabic Fiction organised a workshop for eight critically acclaimed writers from Egypt, Sudan, Tunisia, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen. The result was eight new pieces of writing, which have been brought together in "Emerging Arab Voices".
Peter Clark is a Middle East specialist and former Cultural Attaché at the British Council. He has translated fiction, history, drama and poetry from Arabic into English since 1980. Peter has lived and worked in seven Arab countries, is a Trustee of the International Prize for Arabic Fiction and a contributing editor of Banipal magazine.
