The evening will comprise of a delicious Middle Eastern-style buffet (meze) prepared by the Hanin Palestine Cafe, live music, including a performance by the Oud player, Firas Jabloun, poetry, and two short speeches, one on the current situation in Palestine, the other on CSTW activities.

Israel’s recent war on the people of Gaza has killed several hundreds, a large number of them children. Those who have survived are traumatised from the loss of loved ones. Sixty percent of the population is now living in poverty, thousands are malnourished, and more than a million are dependent on aid to survive.
Cambridge Stop the War is committed to helping the victims of Israeli aggression and occupation, and providing Cambridge residents with opportunities to show solidarity with the people of Palestine.

The book that he is best known for is wonderful, it intertwines colonialism and sexuality so that it is understandable to an outsider.
wikipedia - Salih achieved immediate acclaim when his novel Season of Migration to the North was first published in Arabic, in Beirut in the late 1960s. In 2001, this was declared "the most important Arabic novel of the 20th century" by the Syrian-based Arab Literary Academy in Damascus
