Riverbend, who writes the Iraq blog Baghdad Burning, now has had her first year of blog entries turned into a book.

Earlier this year, Baghdad Burning the blog was turned into “Baghdad Burning” - the book. Feminist Press published the whole first year of blogs in book form and it was a huge honor. The book is available at both Amazon and Barnes & Noble. The British version was published by Marion Boyars Publishers.

As if having the blog published as a book wasn’t enough- the book itself won the third prize of the Lettre Ulysses Award for the Art of Reportage in October… An amazing honor.

Also- Baghdad Burning in Japanese… and Baghdad Burning in Spanish. Many, many thanks to the people taking so much time to translate the blog!

I hope she sells a million copies, she’s a voice of reality speaking to us from the horror we’ve made of her country. I don’t know how she keeps not only her sanity but her sense of humor through all that and is also willing to speak to the occupiers as if we were humans, which puts her leagues ahead of our President and his gang of thugs.
