“I should have known better but I can’t believe the reach. I’ve had Egyptian cabinet ministers trying to get in touch with me all week. It really is a life-changing thing. Thank you again for everything you do to make this award happen. I owe you a debt I can’t ever repay, as does Canadian literature.”
