  3. thanks,
    well, i think it should be on amazon.fr when it's out in france. maybe in february.
    but i am also working to make an english version one day. maybe you'd prefer to wait for it.

  4. actually i checked for you, and it is already available to pre-order from amazon.fr

    here's the link:
    [http://amazon.fr/s/ref=nb_ss_w/403-7065787-5082834?__mk_fr_FR=%C5M%C5Z%D5%D1&url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=kerbaj&Go.x=0&Go.y=0&Go=Go

    was somehow awkward to type my own name in the amazon search field...

  9. Very exciting. I can't wait to get a copy. Will order the French, and then the English, when published. Congratulations. Too bad you and your compatriots had to go through such hell ... to put it mildly. Isn't it a bit strange to be excited (which I assume you are) about a book publication when said book was the product of such horror?

    ReplyDelete
  10. well john, i am more glad than excited. until i had the book in hands, it was still a project i am working on. now i can finally put the book - and the war - behind me and begin to work on something new.
    let's just hope it won't be something about another horror.
    but anyway, it couldn't be about clowns either!

  15. ça y est, je l'ai. je l'ai lu. ou relu, finalement.
    je me demande où je vais le ranger dans la bibliothèque, entre quoi et quoi...

    ReplyDelete
  16. all right, i got the info now for the french book signing. i added it on the post itself.
    glad to know i have now a little bit more readers for this book than usual (around 6 persons - if i count my mother - for the first 8 or 9 books).

    ReplyDelete
  17. But where will the book signing take place in Paris?

    Will you not have a gig or two, à l'occasion, while you're here?!

    ReplyDelete
  18. fantastic! Mabrouk!

    ReplyDelete
  19. hahaha tu es surement la premiere vanessa, tu es vraiment rapide!
    tu devrais le classer alphabetiquement a mon avis, entre belzebuth et bush :)

  20. yes ici, they're will be a two days festival in paris with more around 6 or 7 concerts. with a lot of the lebanese scene and more from paris and france and the european scene (around 20 musicians - until now). it is a paris pre-edition of our 7th irtijal festival (beirut - april 07) and it will take place at instants chavirés (montreuil) on 11th and 12th of february. i am going to post all the details soon when we finish the final program. keep an eye ;)

  23. Félicitations Mazen,

    C'est mieux d'avoir un bouquin entre les mains que des JPG dans le PC. Au moins, on pourra les montrer à nos amis non libanais ou qui ne connaissaient pas ton blog durant la guerre. C'est une merveilleuse façon pour nous tous (du moins pour moi qui ait suivi ton blog durant la guerre) de la mettre justement derrière nous, comme un vieux souvenir, une page qui se referme. Je ferais mon possible pour être à Paris pour la signature!! Tu peux aussi compter sur tes "fans" anonymes (ça te fera bien plus que 10 livres achetés)...

    Bonne continuation!!

  36. Hi Mazen,
    your book moved me, a lot ! Almost as much as when I heard about the war starting in Lebanon in July.
    I love your drawings, the way they really communicate emotions and feelings. All the articles I read when I wanted to know how the people were doing back then weren't half as helpful as your book. I wish I'd known about your book back then.

    Now I'm gonna read your blog regularly.
    Take good care.
