ArabLit Quarterly: Syria: Fall of Eternity

SYRIA: FALL OF ETERNITY is a wide-ranging exploration of Syrian literature.As co-editors Ghada Alatrash and Fadi Azzam write, "It is no easy task to tell the Syrian tale, one that is written—and still being written—in the midst of both darkness and light. Yet, Syrian literature and art have taken up this task: not only to record events threatened by historical erasure, but to transform a time stained with blood into an anthem of resistance. ... In every text, every poem, every work of art, there is a brave confession: freedom is not granted—it is seized; it is seized with love, with words, with color, and with a deep conviction that all humans deserve to be free."Includes work by Samar Yazbek, Mamdouh Azzam, George Kadr, Maha Hassan, Fawwaz Haddad, Iyad Shaheen, Rima Bali, Dima Wannous, and many more.
