What I’m working on…

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

I feel I should explain my prolonged absences between posts. You see, I’ve signed on with the brilliant Helena Cobban of Just World News, and now of Just World Publishing to, well, write a book

That’s right: Gazamom, the book! Except that’s not what it’s called (still working on title-suggestions encouraged! Kabobfest maintains that if I include “infidel” or “jihad” in the title, its sure to be a hit!).

The book will in essence be a compilation of articles I’ve written, pictures I’ve taken, commentaries I’ve made, and then of course, my blog. But in some sort of succinct coherent enthralling order! What Id really like to do is take the reader on a journey to Gaza through my eyes; a Gaza whose situation has essentially remained unchanged from the period from ’04-07 (the time period I will mainly be covering). The broader themes of subjugation occupation and isolation are consistent and have only intensified, and have been harbingers of things to come from the beginning. I’d like to highlight these themes through my personal lens and journey.

So anyway, that’s what I’m up to. More as I progress….
