“It began as an internet joke with a friend in Jordan. But then the media picked it up, and suddenly he was the Baghdad blogger, the most famous web diarist in the world. Salam Pax describes what it was like to play cat-and-mouse with Saddam’s censors.”

Det är väl bara en tidsfråga innan Salam Pax blir film. Men det är också en intressant story om hur man kan kommunicera med omvärlden inifrån en polisstat.

The New York Review of Books:

“So there it was at last, the copy of George Orwell’s notorious list of ‘crypto-communists’ that went into the files of a semisecret department of the Foreign Office on May 4, 1949.”
