A book launch for The Donkey Lady and Other Tales from the Arabian Gulf will be held this afternoon at the Mathaf: Arab Museum for Modern Art from 4pm to 6pm.

The book contains stories from across the Middle East that were collected by students from Qatar University. It was illustrated by art and design students from Virginia Commonwealth University in Qatar and will be on sale at the Mathaf gift shop for QR150.

Today’s free event, which will take place at the Mathaf library, will feature a short question and answer session with the authors and a reading of one of the stories from the book. More details can be found here.
