Trainspotting | Irvine Welsh
post image

Now listening to Irvine Welsh say so many F words in this Singapore panel, it‘s hilarious. Listening to Mariko Tamaki is a joy. Balli Kaur Jaswal of Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows fame is very nuanced and articulate. Could have gone for a less opinionated Moderator who could have led the conversation further but oh well. #SingaporeWritersFestival #SWF2018.

Moray_Reads Moderators can make such a difference to the experience but at least you got to see some very cool people! 6y

#ReadingResolutions Day 7: My #WomanCrushWed is Iranian-American poet and novelist Sholeh Wolpe who translated so many amazing Iranian poets in English. To say that she was riveting and absolutely breathtaking during the #SingaporeWritersFestival last year would be an understatement.

shawnmooney Love this photo! Have you tried any of her novels? 7y
GatheringBooks @shawnmooney I bought two, but haven‘t read them yet. They are her translated works, though, of famous Iranian poets. 7y
