The Great Magazine Weekend: Banipal

Saturday 7th October 2017
14:00 - 15:00 at Waterstones, London - Gower Street

Banipal magazine has been a showcase of Arab authors for twenty years. Today we celebrate the inspirational power of literary translation to open dialogue and understanding with some very special guests.

Syrian author Dima Wannous, whose novel "The Frightened" was excerpted in Banipal 57 - Syria in the Heart, will be in conversation with her translator Julia Ihnatowicz, Jonathan Wright - winner of the Saif Ghobash Banipal Arabic Literary Translation Prize and regular translator for Banipal - who will be discussing translating Arabic literature today and Margaret Obank, Banipal's co-founder and publisher, with her tales of translating the Arab literary scene. The event will be moderated by Becki Maddock, Banipal translator and book reviewer.

£3 tickets are available online via Ticketscript and in store.
