Proud to have signed this, in solidarity with team Minor Detail & 600+ industry professionals & peers. Thanks to team @arablit.bsky.social for doing the good work. Literature matters, now more than ever. Let’s commit to speaking up against censorship & injustice✊🏽 arablit.org/2023/10/16/a...

Shameful, disgraceful, cowardly, and telling behaviour from The Frankfurt Book Fair. I hope more folks and organisations call out this behaviour and withdraw participation. And I hope Adania Shibli’s Minor Detail, translated by Elisabeth Jaquette, will find more readers — and more prizes.
