The Book Signing of ‘Children of Catastrophe’

Saturday, Nov 13, 2010
6:00pm -> 8:00pm
Virgin Megastore

During this event, Jamal Kanj, a Palestinian refugee who was born and spent his childhood in the now abolished Nahr el Bared refugee camp in Lebanon, will talk about his book, his experiences in Nahr el Bared, and the events that led him to write The Children of Catastrophe. Subsequently the author will read excerpts of the book, which will be followed by a Q&A session. He himself claims on his website: ‘My promise is a story that will move you emotionally and challenge you intellectually. It is heartrending, yet joyful. In this book, I invite you to a journey into the daily life of a refugee to discover hope and the “place” that lives inside every Palestinian.’
