Riverbend (blogger)

Riverbend is the pseudonymous author of the blog "Baghdad Burning", launched on August 17, 2003. Riverbend's existence and identity remain a mystery, but the weblog entries suggest that she is a young Iraqi woman from a mixed Shia and Sunni family, living with her parents and brother in Baghdad. Before the United States occupation of Iraq she was a computer programmer.

Publishing
Riverbend's weblog entries were first collected and published as Baghdad Burning, (with a foreword by the investigative journalist James Ridgeway), and Baghdad Burning II, , (also with an introduction by James Ridgeway and Jean Casella). They have since been translated and published in numerous countries and languages. In 2005, Baghdad Burning won third place for the Lettre Ulysses Award for the Art of Reportage and in 2006 it was longlisted for the Samuel Johnson Prize. Baghdad Burning has also been made into several dramatic plays, mostly produced in New York City. BBC Radio 4 broadcast a five-episode dramatization of her blog, "Baghdad Burning", on the ''Woman's Hour'' serial, on each day from 18 to 22 December 2006. ==See also==
