The world-renowned, London-based literary magazine, Granta, will make The Marin School the site of the Marin County launch for its brand new, timely issue focusing on Pakistan, next Monday, October 11 at 7pm. Leading Pakistani novelist, Uzma Aslam Khan, will be here in person, reading from her work and discussing the Granta anthology's overall take on the relationship between Pakistan and the West, which is so prominent in today's news headlines. Many of Pakistan's leading novelists, poets and journalists are contributors to the new Granta, so this will be a fantastic opportunity for the TMS community to be part of a vital dialog about today's world.
The event will run from 7-8pm, with Uzma reading from her work and an audience Q&A. Doors open at 6:30pm and the event is free of charge. Our friends and partners from Book Passage will bring books for sale and signing.
To reserve seats for the event, please send an email to kridge@themarinschool.org.
