Jeremy Harding writes:
Even though Palestine has been his main preoccupation as a journalist and political activist, Gate of the Sun is the first of Khoury’s 11 novels to tackle the subject head on. <http://www.lrb.co.uk/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=160&e=NjkzMDE=&l=-http--www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n22/jeremy-harding/jeremy-harding-goes-to-beirut-to-meet-the-novelist-elias-khoury--Q-utm_source--E-newsletter--A-utm_medium--E-email--A-utm_campaign--E-nl20100610> Read more

Aisha by Ahdaf Soueif
<http://www.lrb.co.uk/assets/covers/s/cov0512.jpg>
Edward Said writes:
To grasp what Soueif is about here it is necessary to recall, first of all, that she writes, not as an Arabic novelist, but as an Egyptian whose literary language is English. Her companions in this enterprise are other post-colonials using English (as a world-language) to reconstruct, revise and repossess experiences formerly either suppressed or denied them by colonialism. <http://www.lrb.co.uk/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=160&e=NjkzMDE=&l=-http--www.lrb.co.uk/v05/n12/edward-said/edward-said-writes-about-a-new-literature-of-the-arab-world--Q-utm_source--E-newsletter--A-utm_medium--E-email--A-utm_campaign--E-nl20100610> Read more

Saturday 19 June – Featured Event
7 p.m. <http://www.lrb.co.uk/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=160&e=NjkzMDE=&l=-http--www.lrbshop.co.uk/product.php--Q-productid--E-19123--A-cat--E-386--A-utm_source--E-newsletter--A-utm_medium--E-email--A-utm_campaign--E-nl20100610> Yang Lian with Iain Sinclair and Brian Holton
<http://www.lrb.co.uk/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=160&e=NjkzMDE=&l=-http--www.lrbshop.co.uk/product.php--Q-productid--E-19123--A-cat--E-386--A-page--E-1--A-utm_source--E-newsletter--A-utm_medium--E-email--A-utm_campaign--E-nl20100610> Yang Lian, Iain Sinclair, Brian Holton
Yang Lian began writing traditional poetry while it was proscribed during the Cultural Revolution. Exiled from China after the Tiananmen Square massacre, and now at home in Stoke Newington and the Lea Valley, his poems combine a deep attention to the particular with the allusiveness of classical Chinese poetry.
A word or image can contain all of tradition: ‘With the cry of a wild goose, I am drawn into the Tang Dynasty at the instant of hearing, making Lee valley’s waters flow twelve hundred years upstream.’ Yang Lian will be in conversation with his translator, Brian Holton, and poet, documentary-novelist and East Londoner Iain Sinclair. <http://www.lrb.co.uk/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=160&e=NjkzMDE=&l=-http--www.lrbshop.co.uk/product.php--Q-productid--E-19123--A-utm_source--E-newsletter--A-utm_medium--E-email--A-utm_campaign--E-nl20100610> More details

Twenty years after the Berlin Wall came down, is the idea of a central European region a useful one and what does it mean to today’s writers? Do these countries still have a common culture – and indeed, did they ever? Penguin’s Central European Classics series republishes ten important works from Poland, Hungary, Romania, Austria and the Czech Republic encompassing memoir, essays, novels, philosophy and short stories.
Four titles from the series – Thomas Bernhard’s <http://www.lrb.co.uk/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=160&e=NjkzMDE=&l=-http--www.lrbshop.co.uk/product.php--Q-productid--E-19134> Old Masters, Gyula Krúdy’s <http://www.lrb.co.uk/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=160&e=NjkzMDE=&l=-http--www.lrbshop.co.uk/product.php--Q-productid--E-19135> Life Is a Dream, György Faludy’s <http://www.lrb.co.uk/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=160&e=NjkzMDE=&l=-http--www.lrbshop.co.uk/product.php--Q-productid--E-19136> My Happy Days in Hell and Josef Škvorecký’s <http://www.lrb.co.uk/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=160&e=NjkzMDE=&l=-http--www.lrbshop.co.uk//product.php--Q-productid--E-19139> The Cowards – will provide the basis for this discussion by writers of a later generation, chaired by series editor Simon Winder. <http://www.lrb.co.uk/12all/lt/t_go.php?i=160&e=NjkzMDE=&l=-http--www.lrbshop.co.uk/product.php--Q-productid--E-19125--A-utm_source--E-newsletter--A-utm_medium--E-email--A-utm_campaign--E-nl20100610> More details
