>>INFO: london--british-arab literary festival ======================================== BRITISH-ARAB LITERARY FESTIVAL Reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- I recently organised the Marrakech International Literary and Arts Festival which helped strengthen British-Moroccan cultural relations. Next April, the UK-Indian festival of literature called the Kitab Festival will be held in Kolkata. Clare Short MP, William Dalrymple, Liz Calder of Bloomsbury, Katharine Viner of the Guardian Newspaper, Boyd Tonkin, Literary Editor of the Independent, Hari Kunzru to name but a few participants will be coming to the festival. I am now planning the first ever UK-Arab Literary Festival to be held in London, UK next year. Grateful if you would kindly recommend Arab and British authors/literary figures who you think should definitely participate. Perhaps you could suggest a name for the festival? This proposed festival will also celebrate the festival of muslim cultures that is going to take place all over Britain in 2006. Finally, could you please pass this message on to all those contacts who in your view would be interested in hearing more about the festival's development.
