It was such a pleasure to discuss with the brilliant @shafakelif literature and politics, minorities in the Ottoman Empire, how the past conditions us, the role of writers in society, and much more... The joint interview is out in today's @theguardian.com link👇

On a local hospital wall

As we continue our journey with @contesteddesires in Cyprus; beyond the discussions, we stepped into Larnaca’s rich history with Dr Iosif Hadjikyriacos, director of the Stavrides Archives
