Shortlisted for the Folio Prize
My co-author Leila al-Shami and I are honoured that “Burning Country: Syrians in Revolution and War” has been shortlisted for this year’s Rathbones Folio Prize. But the true honour belongs to those Syrians whose stories we transmitted. We’re particularly happy with the shortlisting because the book may receive more attention, and because these remarkable people’s achievements need to be heard.
Here’s a short film of me (looking rather puffy) talking about the book. Film credits go to the camerawoman, Ayaat.
