Our Man in Beirut

About Nasri Atallah

Born in London in 1982 to Lebanese parents. It was quickly noted by the nurses at Welbeck Clinic that I was a monster of a baby, leading one of them to remark that I looked like the other kids’ father. After living in London for the first 15 years of my life, attending a French Lycee, aspiring to acquire a Blue Peter badge and mastering the art of dunking a McVities chocolate digestive in a mug of PG tips, I moved to Beirut.
