Testimonies
❝Ibrahim Fawzy’s translation of The White Line of Night has moments of striking beauty scattered throughout, bringing focus and clarity to character of the Censor, whose agonising dichotomous struggles shape the narrative. Fawzy has shown a capacity for truly capturing the essence of the story and successfully relaying its tone and pace in a characteristic manner, creating a tincture of the dystopian Arabic original for English-speaking audiences to sample and enjoy.❞
-Deema Al-Mohammad
❝Ibrahim; the talented, the exceptional. Your wit, creativity and keen observation will forever be etched in my memory. We’re proud of you❞
-Shahad Al Rawi, Iraqi author
