Interview - Elif Shafak (2015)
Writing in multiple languages was the subject of the day, and we caught up with Turkish writer Elif Shafak before she took to the stage with fellow multi-lingual writer Aleksandar Hemon. We also asked some audience members what they thought about the event. Elif and Aleksandar's hour-long event is also available on the edbookfest's youtube channel, filmed live as part of Trading Stories at the 2015 Edinburgh International Book Festival.
