With Mona Eltahawy, Firoozeh Dumas, Rabih Alameddine, Assaf Gavron, Daniyal Mueenuddin, Reza Aslan, and Khaled Hosseini Emceed by author and humorist Firoozeh Dumas, this boundary-defying evening offers a panoramic view of the region's literary landscape, with leading Middle Eastern spellbinders weaving stories of their homelands and illuminating timeless themes — identity, immigration, hope, and devastation, among them — in ways that shed new light on old worlds.
