Usually, writers and authors have no difficulty adjusting to social isolation and staying at home, as they are used to spend their time doing what they are best at, reading and writing.


Writer and researcher Nazar Alderany said that since he arrived to Australia, he has been busy with reading, writing and translation.
He added that, every writer has something or some work to do, and they spend their time in completing it as there are postponed literary works due to preoccupation with daily life matters.
He stressed that he is currently busy studying the discovery of some historic artifacts in Saudia Arabia with Syriac and Sabean contents, and it may appear that they were the used languages at that time.

 Mr Alderany added that he is currently working on translating literary texts between Syriac, English and Arabic.
