Existential Al Ain Goes to Dubai

EXCLUSIVE -- In the recording below you'll hear an excerpt of Rajaa al-Sanea, author of Girls of Riyadh, speaking about women, literature, writing and more during the "Women's Writing from the Arab World: Mansoura Ez Eldin, Haifa Bitar, Sahar el-Mougy, Rajaa al-Sanea with Hani Nakshabandi" talk at Dubai Festival City on Friday, February 27, 2009.


And I managed to get Rajaa's autograph in my own copy of Girls of Riyadh.










NOTE: The recording you'll hear is in both Arabic and English simultaneously, because as the talk was conducted in Arabic the audience had remote on-the-spot-translation devices in order to hear the talk in English.
