Cardiff Hubs and Libraries

"Easily the most remarkable work of fiction to come out of Wales in a thousand moons.” – Jon Gower

Grangetown Hub

Hammad Rind is a Welsh-Pakistani writer, translator and the author of the debut novel Four Dervishes (Seren Books), a playful social satire with elements of magic realism. Hammad will be in conversation with poet Taz Rahman.“<a href="https://www.serenbooks.com/productdisplay/four-dervishes" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Four Dervishes</a> is a fascinating adaptation of a medieval classic spun into a satirical and magical realist novel about our times.” – Tabish KhairGrangetown Hub, Havelock Place, CF11 6PA. 23/02/23, 6.30pm. Free.More about the book:One monsoon night, a power cut forces a man full of disappointments on to the streets of the town. Sheltering in a cemetery he comes across four others – a grave digger, an aristocrat, an honourable criminal and a messiah – each with a past, and with a story to tell. Crimes have been committed, dark family secrets revealed, fortunes rise and fall, the varieties of love are explored, and new selves are discovered in a rich round of storytelling. And as the Disappointed Man discovers, a new story is about to begin…Four Dervishes draws on a long tradition of storytelling as it skewers issues like religious bigotry, injustice, the denial of women’s rights, and class division. Lavishly inventive, verbally rich, an exotic confection, this novel is both darkly thematic and humorously playful.This session will be delivered in English.

Am ddim.Mwy am y llyfr: Un noson monsŵn, mae toriad pŵer yn gorfodi dyn sy&#x27;n llawn siomedigaethau i ddod allan i strydoedd y dref. Yn cysgodi mewn mynwent mae&#x27;n dod ar draws pedwar arall – cloddiwr beddi, pendefig, troseddwr anrhydeddus a meseia – pob un â gorffennol, a gyda stori i&#x27;w hadrodd. Mae troseddau wedi eu cyflawni, cyfrinachau teuluol tywyll yn cael eu datgelu, ffortiynau wedi codi a chwympo, mathau o gariad yn cael eu harchwilio, a’r hunan newydd yn cael ei ddarganfod wrth iddynt adrodd eu straeon. Ac fel mae&#x27;r Dyn Siomedig yn darganfod, mae stori newydd ar fin dechrau... Mae Four Dervishes yn tynnu ar draddodiad hir o adrodd straeon gan drafod materion fel rhagfarn grefyddol, anghyfiawnder, gwadu hawliau menywod, a rhaniad dosbarthiadau. Yn gyfuniad egsotig, hynod ddyfeisgar a llafar gyfoethog, mae&#x27;r nofel hon yn dywyll yn thematig ac yn ddoniol a chwareus. Bydd y sesiwn hon yn cael ei chyflwyno yn Saesneg.
