The Katara Library of Arabic Novels hosted a Tunisian cultural evening, within the activities of Ibn Al-Rayb Street at Katara.
The event was attended by a group of Tunisian intellectuals and writers and a number of Qatari and Arab intellectuals.
Tunisian journalist and writer Amer Bouazza, who moderated the event, stressed the important role that Katara plays in attaching attention to various cultures, including Tunisian culture on many occasions, as Katara had previously held Tunisian cultural days, and as the Katara Prize for Arabic Novel had selected Tunisian writer and intellectual Mahmoud Messadi as the Person of the Year in its fifth edition.
Bouazza pointed to the participation of a number of Tunisian writers in the Katara Prize for Arabic Novel, saying Tunisian writers win it almost every year, especially in the category of young people's novel. Katara Library of Arabic Novels had hosted a number of Sudanese intellectuals and writers as part of the library's guest event, who discussed their writing experience during their stay in Qatar.
