This February, Kuwaiti author Mai al-Nakib will be giving talks and readings across the U.S. from her debut short-story collection, The Hidden Light of Objects:
Al-Nakib’s collection was released in the Middle East and UK last year, where it won the Edinburgh International Book Festival’s 2014 First Book Award.
Al-Nakib will be appearing at events in D.C., Providence, Cambridge, NYC, Stanford, and San Francisco. You can find a complete list of events here.
