Massoud Hayoun Author

Massoud Hayoun is an award-winning author and journalist from Los Angeles. In 2019, his debut was published by The New Press to critical acclaim. Part-memoir, part-political exploration, it retells the story of his grandparents' emigration through Egypt, Tunisia, Palestine and America, uncovering what Arabness meant then and what it means today. It won the Arab American Book Award and was a U.S. National Public Radio book of the year. As a journalist, Massoud has reported on international affairs in several languages for Al Jazeera, CNN and Agence France-Presse.
