Yamen Manai, Author of The Ardent Swarm

Author Yamen Manai joins Daniel Ford on Friday Morning Coffee to chat about The Ardent Swarm, the first of his novels to be translated into English.

Caitlin Malcuit also discusses the trial of Andrea Sahouri, who was found not guilty after being arrested at a Black Lives Matter protest, and anti-SLAPP laws.

If you visit Tunisia, you’ll find people are very funny because humor is the only weapon that allowed them to defend themselves and let them believe they are strong enough to survive daily life. You can laugh the whole day in Tunisia.

The Ardent Swarm was featured in February 2021's "Books That Should Be On Your Radar."
