Oct 14: Sectarian Divisiveness guarantees an uproarious Bardroom
Steven Carlson
Please join us this Sunday for the Autumn edition of the Bardroom,
featuring Adam LeBor and Marc Nasdor.
When: Sunday October 14 @ 7:30 pm
Where: Nyitott Műhely: Rath György u. 4 (Metro to Déli pu.)
Long time Budapest author, Adam LeBor will be reading from his new
book on the tumultuous 20th Century in the city of Jaffa. Entitled
"City of Oranges: Arabs and Jews in Jaffa," it book tells the story of
six families in the ancient port city: three Jewish and three Arab.
Published by Bloomsbury in Britain and WW Norton in the US, it was
short-listed for the Jewish Quarterly Literary Prize in Britain.
We asked Adam five questions on the Bardroom blog:

In addition, the Bardroom will be welcoming Marc Nasdor back to Hungary. He
first traveled here in 1986, when he arrived with Allen Ginsberg to do
recordings of some 50 Hungarian poets back when he was co-director of the
Committee for International Poetry. This year he'll release his first new
volume of poetry in 14 years: Sonnetailia, which will be published by Roof
Books in New York.
Hope to see you there!
On behalf of the Bardroom,
Steven Carlson
