Here it is — A Greek Tragedy: The Official Book Trailer! Thank you to my dear friend, filmmaker Paul Lundhal, for making this beautiful visual introduction to my book — including the mesmerizing animation of Orpheus’s head washing up on Lesvos.

Hello. I’m excited to announce my upcoming events for A GREEK TRAGEDY. I’ll be in the Bay Area, Portland, and New York. 

I look forward to sharing what I learned over close to a decade of researching and writing about the October 28, 2015 refugee shipwreck off Lesvos.

I am deeply grateful to the incredible people – Syrian and Afghan refugees, fishermen, lifeguards and many more – who shared their stories with me.

Thanks to journalist Matthieu Aikins for the kind words about my upcoming book, "A Greek Tragedy" (March 25). For his book, "The Naked Don't Fear the Water," Matthieu traveled the refugee route from Kabul to Turkey to Greece. It's a beautiful and important work, a must read!

Hello Blue Sky. I'm new here. Happy to share my book cover and early praise from the great Anna Badkhen: "At the time of the greatest human migration in recent history, A GREEK TRAGEDY—tender, unsparing, meticulously researched—is an unparalleled chronicle." www.simonandschuster.com/books/A-Gree...
