"Words have been shown as inadequate against the military might of Israel, buttressed by the most powerful countries in the world. We are all impotent witnesses, unable to prevent the atrocities we have been watching for almost 22 long and cruel months. What use are more words? And is it really my place to be the amanuensis of Palestinians?"

"In literature, there is an unquestioned acceptance of a cultural dominance that is situated in the east, whether formerly in Baghdad or Damascus, or more currently in Cairo, Beirut and increasingly in the Gulf. While Arabic-language literature from the Maghreb does travel east, writers from sub-Saharan Africa feel they are overlooked in the Middle East."
