About the event

You can be a Russian Jew, an Irish Jew and an American Jew, but can you also be an Arab Jew?  This is the point  that Avi Shlaim, an Arab Jew makes in his fascinating memoir.  From the streets of Baghdad where he was born, to the flight of Jews from Iraq, the birth of the new state of Israel and the subsequent wars and occupations that have blighted the region, Avi Shlaim takes us on a fascinating, complicated and unresolved journey.  Avi’s amazing book is almost impossible to put down. If you want to really understand the Middle East, don’t miss this show.    €25
