My colleagues @markaz-review.bsky.social have published a new issue today, entitled MEZZE. Who's hungry? themarkaz.org/category/tmr...

Montpellier's a great city, always hopping. Gotta love the annual book fest Comédie du Livre, but also the #FestivalArabesque and #CINEMED and so much more.

Long ago I met James Baldwin in Paris. Our interviews were published in the Paris Review. Other Black writers in Paris to know are Chester Himes & William Gardner Smith. RSVP required: nyu.paris.academics@nyu.edu by 14:00 on Apr 17th.

Happy New Year, Juan!

I'm proud of the work we've done at The Markaz Review this year: themarkaz.org In the face of so much Arab dehumanization, so much of this is a breath of fresh air.
