L’historien et blogueur Juan Cole publiait, en juillet dernier, une entrevue dans laquelle il présentait son expérience carnétière et ses motivations de blogueur.
I began Informed Comment in the spring of 2002 as a direct response to the September 11 attacks, in hopes of explaining what I know about the greater Middle East (where I had lived off and on for almost 10 years) to a public that was thirsty for information and expert interpretation. At that time, I was unknown outside Middle East studies and could not so much as get an op-ed published in a local newspaper.

J’ajoute que je me suis payé son dernier livre, Napoleon’s Egypt : Invading the Middle East. J’ai si hâte d’avoir le loisir de me le taper maintenant.
