A.E. Nasr is a Lebanese-born novelist, artist and magazine editor based in Dubai.

 

Her love of language dates back to her initiation into the literary world as a boarding school student in England, and the long hours spent in dusty libraries. This proclivity later translated into a career in publishing—for the past 18 years, Nasr has served as a magazine editor across several trade and lifestyle titles.

 

Nasr’s debut novel, MIRO, is inspired by the classics as well as the author’s first-hand experiences in a country under siege. A nine-year labour of love, MIRO is a tribute to all the things that make us brave when we have little reason to be.
