My Pen is the Wing of a Bird: New Fiction from Afghan Women

This week, we’re joined by Lucy Hannah from UNTOLD Stories, and Afghan poet Parwana Fayyaz,
who talked to festival team member Olivia Chapman. Lucy and Parwana worked on My Pen is the
Wing of a Bird, a new collection of short stories written by Afghan women before and after the
brutal resurgence of the Taliban in August 2021.
