  "reliability_note": "Community-edited encyclopedia article, retrieved in full at the stated revision via the MediaWiki API on 1 November 2026; a fact is used only where the article cites a source for it (Wikipedia broad rule). Used for his birth in New York City in 1970, the family's return to Tripoli in 1973 and flight to Cairo in 1979, his schooling in Cairo and England, his father's abduction in Cairo in 1990, his architecture studies at Goldsmiths, his books and awards (Pulitzer Prize for The Return, 2017; Orwell Prize and National Book Critics Circle Award for My Friends) and his professorship at Barnard College. The article states no religion for Matar; his account of living at boarding school under a false identity, pretending to be 'Christian, though not religious', is an assumed cover under threat that he describes himself, not an attestation of his faith, and is expressly not used as one.",
