An author will explore the work of female writers of Arab heritage at a talk in Lichfield.

Selma Dabbagh will appear at The George Hotel on 23rd March as part of the Lichfield Literature Festival.

A spokesperson said:

> “It is a little-known secret that Arabic literature has a long tradition of erotic writing. Behind that secret lies another – that many of the writers are women.  
>  
> “We Wrote in Symbols celebrates the works of 75 of these female writers of Arab heritage who articulate love and lust with artistry and skill.”  
>  
> Lichfield Literature Festival spokesperson

Tickets for the event, which takes place at 10am, are £12 and can be booked [online](https://lichfieldliteraturefestival.org/event/selma-dabbagh-we-wrote-in-symbols-love-and-lust-by-arab-women-writers/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).
