Furat Kanaan

Jordan

An electrical engineer from Jordan is banned from traveling due to his political activism. Since 2003, when he was in Baghdad during the war, his imagination—like that of many Arabs—expanded, and he dreamed of a better life. In less fortunate societies, imagination and reality clash, and from this struggle, beautiful stories were born that he wanted to share with the world. His debut novel is "Walls" or Judran was published by Austin Macauley.
