SAF Book Club Meetup: Modernity and Gulf Identity

How is Gulf identity explored through contemporary literature? 

 

Our February meetup reflects on questions of belonging and home through selected works of fiction, including Uttama Kirit Patel’s ‘Shape of an Apostrophe’ (2025), Mai Al-Nakib’s ‘An Unlasting Home’ (2022) and Saud Alsanousi’s ‘Mama Hissa’s Mice’ (2019).


You are welcome to bring along other texts to make them part of the conversation.
