The 1st KL Alternative Bookfest

Tuesday, April 01, 2008

There are many interesting Malaysian books now being published; the trouble is, not many of them are readily available in the main bookshops. This is an opportunity to bring these books to the public, and to make the whole process fun lah.

Among the events being planned are:
- Book launch by Hishamuddin Rais
- Discussion of new books by Rustam Sani, Noraini Othman & Mavis Puthucheary, and others.
- A ‘book give-away’ where people can simply get rid of books they no longer want, for free. This will physically take up one corner of the room, where people can just leave the books. The idea is to make interesting books available even to those who can’t afford to buy ‘em. The remainder of the books will be donated.
- Bilingual poetry slam, where the audience gets to vote for their favourite performers.
