On 9 May 2016, we welcomed French-Iranian journalist and civil rights activist, Fariba Hachtroudi, to Free Word Centre to discuss her novel 'The Man Who Snapped His Fingers'.

Fariba was joined in conversation by award-winning author, Alex Preston, for a discussion on power, memory, and the way books can help us build bridges across cultures.

Wanderlust: Great Literature from Around the World is a monthly event series at Free Word.
