Lebanese artist dies in London
London-based Lebanese artist, author and publisher Mai Ghoussoub died suddenly this weekend. Ghoussoub took a BA in literature from the American University of Beirut before moving in 1979 to London, where she studied sculpture at Morley College. Her art has been exhibited extensively in Europe. She has written and edited numerous books, first attracting attention with "Leaving Beirut: Women and the Wars Within" (Saqi, 2001), which blends fiction and autobiographical essay.
More recently, she co-edited "Imagined Masculinities" (Saqi, 2006) and contributed to "Lebanon, Lebanon" (Saqi, 2006) a collected work published to raise money for those displaced in Israel's 2006 bombing campaign against Lebanon.
