Getting Your Wish
عن الحلقة
Egyptian graphic novelist Deena Mohamed talks about her debut urban-fantasy trilogy Shubeik Lubeik (“Your Wish is My Command”). A product of playful self-translation, it’s coming to English as a single volume. It will be unbottled by Pantheon (US) and Granta (UK) on January 10, 2023.
Show Notes:
While the US edition keeps the title “Shubeik Lubeik,” the UK edition will use a literal translation: “Your Wish Is My Command.”
Find more of Deena’s work at http://deenadraws.art and on Twitter and Instagram as @itsdeenasaur.
The Arabic originals were published by Dar Mahrousa and are available in the US through Maamoul Press.
