Reading and talk with Joydeep Roy-Bhattacharya

Author of The Storyteller of Marrakesh

Sponsors: Talking Leaves, Hallwalls, Just Buffalo

Thursday, February 3, 7:00 PM

Hallwalls Cinema, Babeville, 341 Delaware Ave @ Tupper

Our ongoing attempt through the BABEL series to bridge international borders and cultures contines with novelist Joydeep Roy-Bhattscharya, whose first novel,

The Gabriel Club, was published in eight languages in 16 countries.  We introduce him with his first novel to be published in the U.S., The Storyteller of Marrakesh. This book is the first in a cycle of novels set in the Muslim world motivated by the author's sense of responsibility as a writer to serve as a steward for the cultural richness of the Islamic world at a time it is often being misrepresented in the West. Author Roy-Bhattacharya was born in Jamshedpur, India, and currently lives in New York.
