The Bookwallah - Sunday 11th @ 19.00


The Bookwallah cordially invites you to a very special event on Sunday 11th November at 7pm I An evening of Poetry and Song with Shabnam Virmani and Readings from Six Indian Poets.

The Bookwallah is India's first roving writers festival, taking five writers and an ingenious travelling library across India by train. Sudeep Sen, Annie Zaidi and Chandrahas Choudhury join Australian writers Benjamin Law and Kirsty Murray on a three-week exploration of southern India. Along the way they present free events, connect with local writers, and explore some of India’s most thought-provoking places. 

The writers are accompanied by unique luggage: a portable, pop-up library. The library travels in exquisite hand-made suitcases that open and transform into bookcases, filled with hundreds of new Australian books. The book cases will be on display on Sunday 11th November, for your browsing pleasure.

An evening of poetry and song with Sufi singer Shabnam Virmani, and poets Vipul Rikhi, Annie Zaidi, Mamta Sagar, Anita Nair, Anjum Hasan and hosted by Sudeep Sen.
