Congratulations Mazen. Is it available to buy online for those of us who are very, very far from Paris?

thanks,
well, i think it should be on amazon.fr when it's out in france. maybe in february.
but i am also working to make an english version one day. maybe you'd prefer to wait for it.

well, all the pages are in their original language (mostly arabic, but also french and english), and there is translation to french under each drawing.

well john, i am more glad than excited. until i had the book in hands, it was still a project i am working on. now i can finally put the book - and the war - behind me and begin to work on something new.
let's just hope it won't be something about another horror.
but anyway, it couldn't be about clowns either!

hahaha tu es surement la premiere vanessa, tu es vraiment rapide!

yes ici, they're will be a two days festival in paris with more around 6 or 7 concerts. with a lot of the lebanese scene and more from paris and france and the european scene (around 20 musicians - until now). it is a paris pre-edition of our 7th irtijal festival (beirut - april 07) and it will take place at instants chavirés (montreuil) on 11th and 12th of february. i am going to post all the details soon when we finish the final program. keep an eye ;)

Félicitations Mazen,

C'est mieux d'avoir un bouquin entre les mains que des JPG dans le PC. Au moins, on pourra les montrer à nos amis non libanais ou qui ne connaissaient pas ton blog durant la guerre. C'est une merveilleuse façon pour nous tous (du moins pour moi qui ait suivi ton blog durant la guerre) de la mettre justement derrière nous, comme un vieux souvenir, une page qui se referme. Je ferais mon possible pour être à Paris pour la signature!! Tu peux aussi compter sur tes "fans" anonymes (ça te fera bien plus que 10 livres achetés)...

Bonne continuation!!

hello everybody,
thanks for all your comments. it seems this book will REALLY be read by more people than usual :)
no idea of where to get the book in the usa. i imagine you can't. the only way is probably the internet (amazon.fr)

diala content d'avoir de tes nouvelles et j'espere te voir a paris.

Hi Mazen,
your book moved me, a lot ! Almost as much as when I heard about the war starting in Lebanon in July.
I love your drawings, the way they really communicate emotions and feelings. All the articles I read when I wanted to know how the people were doing back then weren't half as helpful as your book. I wish I'd known about your book back then.

Now I'm gonna read your blog regularly.
Take good care.
