Award-Winning Author Noor Naga Will Publish Her Debut Memoir in 2027

Egyptian-Canadian writer Noor Naga, the author of award-winning novel ‘If an Egyptian Cannot Speak English’, announced that her debut memoir is set for publishing in fall 2027. Titled ‘Third Person’, the memoir will be published by non-profit American independent publishing house Graywolf Press.

Described by Naga as part spiritual reckoning and part political manifesto, the book follows the author grappling with questions around patient autonomy, end-of-life “care” and shared decision-making after her grandmother suffers a series of strokes.

Within the broader context of the ongoing genocides in Palestine and Sudan, the author reflects on suffering near and far.
