SUMMARY:Refugee Tales: Volume II
DESCRIPTION:By sharing our stories\, we have the power to transform the world. Amid a global migration crisis\, the Refugee Tales project was conceived as a way of giving voice to people who have been held in indefinite immigration detention. Offered as a modern reworking of The Canterbury Tales\, the project’s second book tells the stories of real-life refugees whose voyage to the UK has not been a journey of spiritual salvation\, rather one of sheer\, physical survival. Written by leading writers in collaboration with refugees\, former immigration detainees\, and those who work with them\, it offers a compelling and truthful account of what it means to seek asylum in the UK. \nJoin us for readings from three contributors: Kamila Shamsie is the author of several acclaimed novels including Broken Verses and Burnt Shadows. Caroline Bergvall is an artist\, writer and performer whose work includes the large-scale project DRIFT. Marina Warner is a multi-award winning scholar\, critic and author whose books include Once Upon a Time and Stranger Magic: Charmed States & The Arabian Nights. Presented in partnership with Comma Press and Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group. \nChaired by Comma editor Ra Page. \nThis event is part of Manchester Literature Festival 2017 \nBook on 0843 208 0500 \n
