Absolutely extraordinary work. I didn’t realise Janet Frame was such a modernist. ‘The Edge of the Alphabet’ has shades of Woolf and maybe Butor (?). Regardless, it is a strange and beautiful reminder of what fiction can do and be.

Thank you for taking up his case – we are very much looking forward to Alaa's return home soon, and to meeting our author in person for the first time.

Having met Laila Soueif this week, my message is clear. I will do all that I can to secure the release of her son Alaa Abd el-Fattah and reunite him with his family.
We will continue to raise his case at the highest levels of the Egyptian government and press for his release.
