Writing In A Sectarian Society Talk at Zico House

As part of the Hay Festival 2013, Zico House is hosting a conversation with Talal Husseini, Nahla Chahal, and Dalal Al Bizri. The discussion will center around writing in a sectarian society.

The discussion will ask these questions: What is the role of the writer in a deeply divided sectarian society? How does the writer ‘speak truth to power’ in such a society? And how does he or she contribute to the transformation of consciousness? How can writers exit their individualities and enter into a larger national space?
