Zalin Grant

Author and editorial director

Zalin Grant is our editorial director. His rather odd first name is pronounced zay-len. Zalin volunteered for Vietnam and served as an army officer. He is a former war correspondent and journalist for Time magazine and The New Republic, and the author of five books.

A multi-linguist who has written from fifty countries, Zalin once drove a VW camper on journalistic assignment from Singapore to Paris. 22 flat tires!

He is an American journalist and author who lives in a 15th-century farm house in the heart of France with his wife Claude, a Parisian whose family roots in the village go back hundreds of years. From there he writes the Letters from a French Village.

“SURVIVORS is a document as well as a documentary. Zalin Grant is trying to tell us the truth, not interpret it, and he succeeds in the most hair-raising way.”
