Salam
I've said before that some smart publisher -- or agent -- should snap up Salam Pax. He's the Baghdad blogger, an Iraqi, a great observer and writer. His online journal -- of his life, the war, the siege of Baghdad, and the aftermath -- is gripping reading. Salam is the Anne Frank of this conflict. The main difficulty has been to reach him. Well, I've got his details, and I want to read Salam's book. So, if you want to publish him, and you'd be stupid not to, send me an email, and I'll pass it on.
