Now, the Dubai Literature Festival.

It was so much fun! I bought a suitcase to fill up with books. I don’t feel like writing much after the tag, so just one salfa and the pictures. So, I attended six lectures, all of which were super interesting. My favorite has to be the “Women Writing from the Arab World” although the host was an idiot. Hani Nakshabandi! Shame on him! He wouldn’t let the women speak. He wouldn’t let them answer questions. He kept commenting on how they were attacking the male race when they didn’t even mention the word man! So when I decide to comment, he decides to shut me up. It went something like this:

Amethyst: Kel wa7ed ygoul qe9eta, elrajul ygoul qe9eta w elmar2a etgoul qe9at`ha. Fa 3ashan chethi lazem naf9el bain adab w adab.

Hani Nakshabandi: Na36i a7ad tani fur9a ena yetkalam.

Amethyst: Bas fi ba3ad, buga shayain.

Hani Nakshabandi: 3a6i a7ad tani fur9a ma3a elmicrophone.

Amethyst: Fi ba3ad. Mu kel adab elnesa2 adab 7azeen..

And then he was like, you’re not supposed to comment on my comments, you’re supposed to ask questions. Seriously? Kaify! CHAIFY!

But what made me really happy was that a grey-haired intellectual male stood up for me, and the evil Hani couldn’t say a word about handing over the mic to someone else even though he kept on going for longer than I did;p

Pictures? Yes? No? Maybe?

Well, mu bkaifkum!
