The Chestnut Tree Bookshop warmly invites you to an evening with Antoun Issa, Lebanese-Australian journalist and author, in conversation with Reem Sweid.

Antoun spent years reporting from Beirut during the Arab Spring, worked in Washington DC's foreign policy circles, and held senior editorial roles at The Guardian Australia. Rebirth, his debut book, draws on his mother's true experiences of the Lebanese Civil War, telling a story rarely heard from the perspective of those who lived it.

Come along for a night of conversation and reflection on journalism, history and the power of storytelling to say what the news cannot.

Every ticket includes $10 off the purchase of Antoun's book on the night, plus a drink on arrival. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
