Khaled Alesmael- Selamlik

An emotional and unflinching story about Arab masculinity and homoeroticism

Following a sold out a launch event at Gay’s the Word, we’re excited to host Khaled Alesmael for an evening discussing his new book ‘Selamlik‘. Khaled will be in conversation with Diego García Rodríguez.

Selamlik is a searing indictment of the human cost of war and a testament to the power of love and solidarity in the face of adversity. Through Furat’s journey, Alesmael shines a light on the struggles of LGBTQ individuals in the Middle East, while also bearing witness to the resilience of the human spirit in the most challenging of circumstances.
