Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies.[7] He speaks publicly about issues related to gay Syrian refugees[8] and he wrote a bi-weekly column for Daily Xtra between 2012 and 2016.[9] WritingRamadan has translated the work of Saudi blogger Raif Badawi to English, released in 2015 by Greystone Books under the title 1000 Lashes: Because I Say What I Think. Ramadan published two collections of short stories in Arabic while he lived in Egypt. His first collection, Death and Other Fools, was released by Dar Laila in 2004. His second collection, Aria, was released by Dar Malameh in 2008. The Clothesline Swing is Ramadan's debut novel in English. Inspired by One Thousand and One Nights, the novel tells the epic story of two lovers anchored to the memory of a dying Syria. One is a Hakawati, a storyteller, keeping life in forward motion by relaying remembered fables to his dying partner. Each night he weaves stories of his childhood in Damascus, of the cruelty he has endured for his sexuality, of leaving home, of war, of his fated meeting with his lover. Meanwhile, Death himself, in his dark cloak, shares the house with the two men, eavesdropping on their secrets as he awaits their final undoing. In its review, titled "The Sweetest Taboo", Winnipeg Free Press stated that the author "has crafted a novel that compels readers to share — vicariously, with his characters — the beauty and history of Syria, the horrors of civil war and the joy, release and pain of forbidden love." adding that the novel is "an enjoyable, if challenging, cultural and historical excursion.".[10] Publishers Weekly called the work "remarkable" stating that "Ramadan's delicate use of imagery links these narratives, allowing them to reverberate with meaning and emotion.".[11]"This debut novel from the Vancouver-based Syrian writer reads as many things," writes Kamal Al-Solaylee for Canadian magazine Quill and Quire, "a coming-out memoir, a history lesson, a critique of authoritarianism, a narrative about sharing narratives – but above all, it's a requiem for a dying country and people." [12] The Globe and Mail called the novel "sombre, fantastical, violent and tender," adding that Ramadan's "English-language debut is a gay son's conflicted love letter to Syria."[13] The Georgia Straight called the narration of Ramadan "fragmented, poetic, and rich with magic realism," adding that the novel "is a lesson in both artistic mastery and human resilience. And, unexpectedly: joy." [14]The Clothesline Swing won the Independent Publisher Book Awards' Golden Medal in the LGBT category,[15] as well as the Canadian Authors Association's Fred Kerner Award for Best Overall Fiction Book in 2017,[16] was picked among The Globe and Mail's 100 Best Books 2017,[17] and was number 7 of the Toronto Star Top 10 Books of 2017.[18] It was long listed on the CBC's Canada Reads 2018 contest,[19] shortlisted to the Forest of Reading's Evergreen Award 2018,[20] shortlisted for the Lambda Literary Award Gay Fiction category in 2018, and longlisted for Sunburst Award for Excellence in Canadian Literature of the Fantastic.[21] References{{commonscat-inline|Danny Ramadan}}1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/danny-ramadan-brings-struggles-of-lgbt-refugees-to-light-1.3075662 |title=Danny Ramadan brings struggles of LGBT refugees to light|publisher=Cbc.ca |date=May 15, 2015|accessdate=October 26, 2016}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Ramadan, Ahmad Danny}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/gay-syrian-refugees-start-new-lives-in-vancouver-1.2762217 |title=Gay Syrian refugees start new lives in Vancouver|publisher=CBC News|date= |accessdate=2016-10-26}} 3. ^{{cite web|last=Johnson |first=Chris |url=http://www.washingtonblade.com/2016/07/31/gay-syrian-refugee-leads-vancouver-pride-parade/ |title=Gay Syrian refugee leads Vancouver Pride parade |publisher=Washington Blade|date=October 21, 2016|accessdate=October 26, 2016}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.metronews.ca/features/vancouver/vancouvering/2016/07/22/vancouver-pride-grand-marshall-lgbtq-refugee-fundraiser.html|title=Cafe Politics: Vancouver Pride Grand Marshall hosts 'Evening in Damascus' LGBTQ refugee fundraiser|date=July 22, 2016|publisher=Metro|accessdate=October 26, 2016}} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.dailyxtra.com/meet-the-people-who-will-lead-vancouvers-2017-pride-parade-74875|title=Meet the people who will lead Vancouver’s 2017 Pride parade|date=2017-06-23|work=Xtra|access-date=2017-06-27|language=en-US}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=http://canadianimmigrant.ca/slider/rbc-top-25-canadian-immigrants-of-2017-announced|title=RBC Top 25 Canadian Immigrants of 2017 announced!
