Asia House Bagri Foundation Literature Festival 2015

Now in its ninth year, it is the only UK Festival dedicated to pan-Asian writing and will include talks from some of the most exciting names in literature including British-Chinese author Xinran, Turkey's bestselling author Elif Safak, award-winning Indian novelist Anuradha Roy and one of South Korea's most important modern writers, Hwang Sok-yong.

The Festival will run from 7 - 18 May, 2015 and all events will take place at Asia House, which is just off Oxford Street in central London.

At the core of this year's programme is an exploration of youth and gender with an in-depth look at the important issues affecting the current generation across the globe. The Festival will examine the issue of women's historical involvement in suffrage movements, introduce China's only children and Nepal's child goddesses, look at forbidden love and also explore the themes of migration and displacement.
