Waterstones TCR is delighted to present an evenings of readings and discussion in celebration of the Jhalak Prize for Book of the Year by a Writer of Colour, now in its third year.
On selecting the 2019 longlist, the prize's judges noted: 'I've laughed, cried, had my mind changed, my eyes opened...', and 'As society grapples with big issues identity belonging, writers of colour are addressing these... with extraordinary insight'.
Join host and prize founder Sunny Singh as nominated authors Roma Agrawal, Charlie Brinkhurst-Cuff, Afua Hirsch and Roy McFarlane come together to read from their work, discuss what it means to be writing in Britain now, and, together with the audience, stake a claim for being a vital part of the country's past, present and future.
The evening will include a conversation between our host and panelists, the opportunity for questions from and discussion with the audience, and a book signing.
Tickets are £6, and partly-redeemable against the purchase of any book on the night.
