'Sporting events were being used to whitewash human rights violations in my country, and I could not remain silent' - activist @SAlwadaei writes for the latest issue of #PENTransmissions on how the #Formula1 has become a site of protest in #Bahrain. https://t.co/vlZ2rWgW4l

Many of our great novel-reading experiences are actually the result of the work of two artists, not one. How would we know Chekhov in English without Constance Garnett? The Arab novel on Anglophone shores without the work of Denys Johnson-Davies?
