The event, scheduled for Wednesday, October 28, 2026, at 5:00 PM, will feature Al Zarouni presenting her latest novel "Sanawat Al Maghri" or "Years of the Marg".

The event will be attended by professors Abdullah Istitu, Ali Slitine Alawi, Abdel Rahim Akhbarab, and Malika Bennader, who will engage in a discussion with Al Zarouni. This meeting offers an opportunity to explore a narrative that uses storytelling as a space for reflection and language as a means of testing the relationship between humans and their memories, between the self and the world, and between what we experience and what remains untold.
"Sanawat Al Maghri" will also be presented at the College of Arabic Language in Marrakech on Thursday, October 29, and at the Faculty of Arts in Beni Mellal on Friday, October 30. These events aim to introduce the novel and foster a deeper understanding of Al Zarouni's work.
