​
This is a website totally dedicated to Emily Nasrallah, and includes a relatively comprehensive compilation of all her works. It includes some biographical information, a listing of the several publishing companies that have published her works, a list of some awards and prizes she has received, and the ability to translate the entire site into Arabic if that sort of thing is desired. There are two qualms I have about this particular site: when you click on Emily Nasrallah’s name in the upper left hand corner, it leads to a page that is not found. The contact link also immediately links you to an email message itself, rather than just providing you with the info so you can access whatever email server you use. These two criticisms are small, but are a little annoying at times. The cat that walks at the bottom of the page (and meows once when it reaches the other side) makes up for any shortcomings. Although it is not a source of critical information, it is a useful starting point to learn the scope and scale of this very active Arab writer's works.

Topalian, Nohad. “Novelist Emily Nasrallah: 'I still dream about writing a great novel.'"
Interview with Emily Nasrallah. Al-Shorfa. August, 2012. Web. 30 Nov. 2012.
This is an interesting interview that can be used to provide insight into the progressive author's thought process. It is probably more useful in regards to structuring a critical introduction than a biography, as the interview allows Nasrallah to speak for herself. Overall, this is a useful source to understand the socio-political stance of Nasrallah and is laden with beautiful, thought-provoking quotations.
