Two cities. Two evenings. A magazine and a novel, in conversation about who we are.
FRIDAY's Identity edition asked what it means to be a Muslim woman now; in the contradictions, not the resolutions. Hafsa Lodi's new novel Turbulence asks the same question through Dunya, a woman in transit, looking back across a life she didn't quite choose.
Identity on Tour brings the two works into one room. A magazine and a novel, in conversation. Two cities, two evenings, a different third voice in each.
