Author Talk: Ghost Season by Fatin Abbas

“With supreme skill and reverence, capturing shards, stillness and chaos, Fatin Abbas delivers a novel that gallops close and parallel to current events in Sudan.”

– Leila Aboulela, author of River Spirit

SOAS Library welcomes Fatin Abbas in conversation with Dr Ida Hadjivayanis, chair of the SOAS Centre of African Studies, to celebrate Ghost Season, a powerful debut connecting five characters caught in the crosshairs of conflict on the Sudanese border.

Join us for a discussion that examines how Abbas weaves the story of Sudan's partition into the fabric of her characters identities while exploring the porous and perilous nature of borders.

Books will be sold by Jacaranda Books with a book signing to follow the conversation and a chance to meet Fatin in person.
