A photo from this evening's sold out event. Omar El Akkad in conversation with @jcyliew.bsky.social. A wonderful and difficult conversation. Looking forward to reading El Akkad's book.
Omar El Akkad seated on a chair, looking at the audience with book in hand. Next to him is Jamie Chai Yung Liew, also seated, looking at him as he responds to her questions. There is a table between them with 2 glasses of water. Behind them a banner with Writers Festival. Also visible in front of El Akkad and Liew are the backs of many seated audience members.
