The award-winning novelist and journalist, Omar El Akkad, is back to discuss his New York Times bestselling book, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This

While watching the bombardment of Gaza in 2023, Omar El Akkad put out this tweet: “One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this.” This tweet has been viewed more than 10 million times.One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This is a raw and vulnerable memoir, described as a “heartsick breakup letter with the West.” In his nonfiction debut, El Akkad describes himself as an immigrant who came to the West believing in its promise of freedom and justice.
