A writer, a vision, a journey: a conversation with Hala El-Badry
Venue: Online via Zoom
Date: March 20, 2021
Our fourth episode took place on Saturday, March 20 and you can watch the video here:
Through this new series of in depth conversations with Arab and international authors, arabworldbooks.com aims to explore the vision, motivation, process, and of course, the outcomes of a writer's journey. These conversations will, hopefully, shed some light on the values and experiences that are common to writers and readers across the world, while taking into account their respective idiosyncrasies and cultural specificities.
We are delighted to have Egyptian author Hala El-badry with us on our fourth episode.
Hala is an acclaimed journalist and novelist. She was the first woman elected to the board of Television and Media Magazine and is president of PEN International Egypt Branch. She received the State Excellence award in Literature in 2012 and the best novel award at the Cairo International Book Fair in 2001 and 2018.
The discussion will be conducted in English and moderated by Egyptian novelist Mohamed Tawfik.
