Some forthcoming events for your diary. We are delighted that the Bath Literature Festival 2007 has planned these exciting events with Telegram authors.

Friday 9 March

G1 Literature of Exile: Alexandre Najjar and Adam Le Bor

11.30am–12.30pm, Guildhall, Bath

Alexandre Najjar was born in Lebanon in 1967, and is considered one of the best Lebanese novelists of his generation. In The School of War he recreates a multi-ethnic city of Beirut, seen through the eyes of a child. He discusses the evocation of loss and change with Adam Le Bor, whose City of Oranges is a personal account of the city of Jaffa, once a home to Muslims, Christians and Jews, and famous throughout the world for the sweetness of its oranges.

Friday 9 March

G5 Literature of Exile: Moris Fahri, Maureen Freely and Naim Kattan

4.30pm–5.30pm, Guildhall, Bath

Istanbul and Baghdad as cities of high culture and vibrant life where Jews, Muslims and Christians live together provide the setting for Moris Farhi's Young Turk and Naim Kattan's Farewell, Babylon. With novelist and translator Maureen Freely (acclaimed as translator from the Turkish of the novels of Orhan Pamuk) they discuss life, literature and growing up in a multi-ethnic society.
