*Ø* Blogmanac | Salam Pax, Baghdad blogger, in Sydney
Salam Pax, whose blog from Baghdad called Where is Rael?, is in Australia for the Sydney Writers' Festival.
At one point during the war, his famous blog was getting three million hits a day. The 30-year-old architect inspired and inspires us with his courage, as he blogged in such dangerous circumstances under Hussein and also the invasion, and also as a gay man in Iraq. Here's an interview (audio) on Sydney radio and another with Phillip Adams on Late Night Live. He sounds like a lovely bloke.
Interesting that he's signed a movie deal. We have his book in our Cafe Diem store.
