Following on from the success of the Go Dutch events in 2010, we are delighted to present an Afghan Literary Cafe with two new writers from The Netherlands: poet Shakila Azizzada, and Tahmina Akefi, whose first novel will be published soon. Saira Shah, author of The Storyteller’s Daughter will be reading from her novel, and Reza Mohammadi, whose work has just been translated will be joining poet Sarah Maguire, the director of the PTC, for this special event.
The evening will provide a fascinating insight into the world of four different writers who share a common heritage. We will also be a screening Kabultehrankabul, a short film by Aboozar Amini so, come and join us at the Afghan Literary Cafe.
