Congratulations to COURAGE to WRITE grantee Abdelrahman ElGendy, whose memoir Huna is now forthcoming from Hogarth Books, a Penguin Random House imprint!
“Huna recounts Abdelrahman’s six years as a political prisoner in post–Arab Spring Egypt, following his arrest at age seventeen, alongside his father, at a protest against the 2013 military coup. It explores the politics of dissent and erasure, the bonds of family and community, and the power of education and language as a form of resistance.” – From Hogarth Books
This is especially exciting, as this is the project for which Abdelrahman was awarded a COURAGE to WRITE grant!
