The Syrian revolution: Tenth anniversary of torment

1
BEIRUT — It started small. On a Tuesday afternoon a decade ago, a few dozen Syrians gathered in Damascus’ Old Quarter calling for an end to the 40-year Assad dynasty.
In the days that followed, the protest grew. Anti-government demonstrations had already engulfed Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Bahrain in a wave quickly dubbed the Arab Spring. Now it was Syria’s turn. As unrest fanned out to other cities, commentators seemed sure that another sclerotic military-backed regime would fall.

Over the last five years, there has been a "boom" of Syrian literature translated into German that has been noted by numerous writers, translators, and publishers. While no concrete data about the scope of this boom exists, this intense interest in Syrian writers is felt across Berlin.
But what limitations have come with this interest? Ramy Al-Asheq, one of the more well-known Syrian poets in Berlin, said that demand for his work has definitely increased in the last four years, but, "The problem is that they’re not really interested in the literature or in the Arabic language, but in certain countries where there is conflict, and where there are sexy stories." Many authors cited a pressure to relay "current events" rather than craft a work of literary merit. In Al-Asheq’s words:
