Join Kamel Daoud, journalist and author of The Meursault Investigation (Oneworld, 2015) for which he was awarded the prestigious Prix Goncourt du Premier roman, and Anne-Sylvaine Chassany, Financial Times’ World News editor, for a discussion about current global challenges and the relation between the ‘Eastern’ and ‘Western’ worlds. Kamel Daoud’s writing experience as a journalist and an author in Algeria and in France will counterpoise Anne-Sylvaine Chassany’s sharp journalistic perspective on current affairs for a thought-provoking talk.
