Crossing the Line: Expressing Pakistan

Thursday 16 September, 6.30pm

Venue: Free Word Centre, 60 Farringdon Road, London, EC1R 3GA

In association with Granta and FLOW - The Free Word Festival

With almost 200 million people speaking nearly 60 languages, brought into nationhood under the auspices of a single religion, but wracked with deep separatist fissures and the destabilizing forces of ongoing conflicts in Iran, Afghanistan and Kashmir, Pakistan is one of the most dynamic places in the world today. In this panel discussion, writers featured in Granta magazine's Pakistan issue will read from their work and discuss the dynamics of expression in and out of Pakistan. Writers featured in this issue include Kamila Shamsie, Nadeem Aslam, Fatima Bhutto, Aamer Hussein, and Daniyal Mueenuddin. 

Tickets: Free, but booking essential.
How to Book: Call the Free Word Centre on 0207 3242 570 or visit www.freewordonline.com
