Little piece on @CaravelMagazine about the Ghorba Ghost Series

"Although it is set in China, it is very much about the Jewish Arab identity... It is very much rooted in a politic of love."
Praise for Last Night in Brighton
"Massive. Wonderfully transporting and healing, Last Night in Brighton will speak to anyone who has ever felt a longing for home, or wholeness. That is to say: everyone"
Alya Mooro, bestselling author of The Greater Freedom
@ArtsFuse review of @mhayoun's Building 46: "It’s a coming-of-age story whose revelation of prejudice weaves together two very different cultures."
