"Literature is not an art form to please others, on the contrary, it is an art to shake people and make one outspoken, despite the price to be paid, that of being a bad or lonely person." Orhan Pamuk
You will find exclusive literary news, views and reviews, short stories, articles and other online literature at Nazam.com in a few weeks time. The site looks naff because I created it when I was learning HTML in 1998 and I haven't had time to update it. I've been busy with other stuff for the last eight years. But hold tight: the new site will finally come 'live' in a few weeks time, so press CTRL and D to bookmark it and come back soon!
We would recommend you make a donation to one of our favorite charities, such as Children International, World Land Trust or ActionAid UK. We'd also urge UK residents to buy from the UNICEF store. You can order fantastic items for yourself, emergency supplies for people hit by the earthquake a few months ago in Pakistan or even a goat for a family in Niger and Malawi. Note: we sometimes earn a lead fee for referring people to some charities and 100% of that is spent on campaigning for a fairer, greener and more peaceful world. It is an outrage that 1.2 billion people live on less than $1 a day while others, who profit from their exploitation, think nothing of spending $100 on a bottle of alcohol or one night in a luxury hotel.
