Public meeting: Kim Barker: The Taliban Shuffle

Wednesday, February 22, 2012 - 18:15

Foreign correspondent Kim Barker’s personal account of reporting in Afghanistan and Pakistan, The Taliban Shuffle, is a fiercely honest – and occasionally hilarious – dissection of the absurdities of an intractable conflict. Barker, previously South Asia bureau chief for the Chicago Tribune, abandons the journalist’s conventional poker-faced neutrality for a mordant take on the newest American – and Australian – military quagmire. In conversation with Karen Middleton (An Unwinnable War). This is a free event; bookings are recommended.

The Wheeler Centre, 176 Little Lonsdale Street.
