(If ever.) Sahar doesn’t run the speaking circuit; she’s with AUCP, which is less of a known quantity for US & UK reviewers … I reviewed her latest book (which I hope you’ve read!), but in a specialty magazine (Women’s Review of Books) vs. mainstream press. It’s so hard to place reviews in mainstream press. Maybe it’s my lack of contacts or initiative, but unless it’s “topical” or a writer like Elias Khoury it’s really a bitch.

Hanan I think is in an excellent position — known, respected, loved, admired, translated. But a bit of an anomaly.

Yes, there’s lots of work that could be done.
