Novelist Marion Molteno will talk about a new edition of the late Ralph Russell’s The Famous Ghalib: The Sound of my Moving Pen, which she has edited, in which Russell selects, translates and explains Ghalib’s ghazals. The talk takes place between 6-8pm in room B102 in the centre’s Brunei Gallery. Entry is free, and open to all.
