About the author

Nather Henafe Alali is a Syrian-German writer, journalist, and documentary film concept developer. Born in Syria, he studied dentistry until 2012, when he was imprisoned by the Assad regime. Though his family secured his release, his education was abruptly halted, and he was forced to leave his homeland.

In Syria, Alali worked as a field reporter and essayist, contributing to Syrian online media and supporting humanitarian efforts for Syrian and international NGOs in Syria and Turkey. He fled to Germany in 2014, where he continued his journalistic career. From 2016 to 2017, he was a columnist for Der Spiegel.

In 2018, he edited a special issue of Neue Rundschau (S. Fischer Verlag), bringing together Syrian and German voices to explore the question: "The Syrian Revolution: A Revolution of Media?" His debut novel, Raum Ohne Fenster (S. Fischer Verlag), depicts the devastation of war and authoritarianism through a story of loss, exhaustion, and the stripping away of one’s homeland.

In 2019, he published Letters to an Unknown in Neue Rundschau and was awarded a scholarship from the Roger Willemsen Foundation in 2020. His second novel, Coffee Cup Reader (Arabic edition published in Beirut in 2021), explores themes of love, art, and politics.
