The Whisperer

The Whisperer

You don’t know me; I know you, of course - or at least I know what’s being said about you. I’m ‘the whisperer’. I am socially mobile: Arabic, Brit, Indian, Pakistani, US and the rest, they all invite me and share their world with me. I move comfortably through the corridors of power; I know the seedier sides of the souq; I mix with those in the know, at the smartest parties. I’m on everyone’s list’, you see. Not much gets past me but if you think it might have done, email me on: gulfwhispers@gmail.com I’ll pass it all on so that everyone knows.
