Carl Gibeily was born in Lebanon in 1966. After school in Beirut, he read engineering at Cambridge University, and worked as a confectionery salesman in Dubai, a journalist and UN editor in Beirut and Bahrain, and a Bloomsbury editor in Doha. Carl is now about as Scottish as anyone in Edinburgh, where he lives with his wife and two children. His first novel, Blueprint for a Prophet, was published by Doubleday to critical acclaim.
Always deeply and pleasurably readable (The Mail on Sunday). Such a rich novel … immediate and enjoyable (Independent)
