About This Event

Turkish novelist Elif 艦afak discusses the figure of the djinni (genie) in Arabic mythology, who along with humans and angels, make up the three sapient creations of God, according to Islamic tradition. Like humans, they can exert their will and can be good or bad. 91热爆 Radio 3 New Generation Thinker Dr Shahidha Bari joins the discussion.

Edited version broadcast on 91热爆 Radio 3 during tonight's interval.
