Interview - Etgar Keret and Alain Mabanckou (2015)
Warm, funny and incredibly moving, we spoke to international writers Etgar Keret and Alain Mabanckou in Charlotte Square Gardens before their event about the enduring meaning of home. We also spoke to some audience members to see what they thought about the event. You can see Etgar and Alain's hour-long event here on our website and on the edbookfest's youtube channel, filmed live as part of Trading Stories at the 2015 Edinburgh International Book Festival.
