Open to the public, this event features a bilingual reading from the original Arabic novel سفر الاختفاء  and its English translation, followed by a conversation with the author and translator on writing, translating, and the reconstruction of narratives across languages, and historical and political borders, concluding with a Q&A session engaging students, scholars, and community members.
