If you haven't yet, please get a copy of Wasim's powerful and vital testimony.
As a writer, I believe the greatest moment of joy is to hold your book in your hands, to turn its pages, to breathe in the scent of paper and ink, and to see it complete before you bearing witness to what you have poured of your soul into it so that, at last, you can touch the value of what you’ve made.
But as a Gazan, I am denied this moment; I cannot hold my book, nor can I even see it…
As if my book was born only to remain far from my hands, and close to my heart alone.
The picture was sent to me by a friend.
