About the event

Join Comma Press and Rethink Rebuild Society to launch The Book of Damascus in Manchester, an anthology of ten stories set in the Syrian capital. This anthology captures glimpses of the ongoing struggles Syrians face that no amount of journalism could come close to.

During this event, you'll hear readings from the authors followed by a discussion about the anthology with the editor. You'll also have the opportunity to ask questions during an audience Q+A at the end of the event.

 

About Rethink Rebuild Society

Rethink Rebuild Society (RR) is a Manchester-based charity that works towards improving the lives of refugees, asylum seekers, and immigrants, in particular but not exclusively Syrians in the UK, helping them become positively established within British society.

RR began informally after the start of the uprising in Syria in March 2011. In May 2013 it was formally registered as a company limited by guarantee in England and Wales (Company No. 08528808) and then registered as a charity in England in Wales in April 2018 (Charity No. 1177807)
