SUMMARY:An Evening with Author Tawseef Khan
DESCRIPTION:Jamila’s life feels hectic and out of control. Then a breakdown of sorts forces her to seek change!\n\n\nAs we celebrate South Asian History Month\, join us at Oldham Library with author Tawseef Khan as we dive into his new book Determination. Jamila Shah is twenty-nine and exhausted. An immigration solicitor tasked with running the precious family law firm\, Jamila is prone to being woken in the middle of the night by frantic phone calls from clients on the cusp of deportation. Working under the shadow of the government’s ‘hostile environment’\, she constantly prays and hopes that their ‘determinations’ will result in her clients being allowed to stay. \nWith no time for friends\, family or even herself (never mind a needy partner)\, Jamila’s life feels hectic and out of control. Then a breakdown of sorts forces her to seek change – to pursue her own happiness while navigating the endless expectations that the world seems to have of her\, and still committing herself to a career devoted to helping others. \nBio:TAWSEEF KHAN is a qualified immigration solicitor and holds a doctoral degree from the University of Liverpool\, where he examined the fairness of the British asylum system. He is also a graduate of the creative writing programme at the University of East Anglia\, where he received the Seth Donaldson Memorial Bursary. His fiction has appeared in Lighthouse and Test Signal: a Northern anthology; his non-fiction in the New York Times\, The Face and Hyphen. His debut non-fiction book Muslim\, Actually was published by Atlantic in 2021. He lives in Manchester. \nRefreshments will be provided.
