Reviews & Interviews
The preceding reviews
and interviews are presented in the original languages in which they
initially appeared. It is unfortunately untenable to provide an English
translation of each review or interview at this stage, or to publish all
available interviews and reviews. But, a composite interview in English is
currently being prepared and will be added shortly. Most reviews and
interviews naturally focus on Ammar's published works, that is, on
The Voidman and
Menstruation.
But, the more recent ones also deal with his nonliterary activities,
especially his work in the
Tharwa Project and his activities as a
hapless Syria dissident.
