3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Join us on Thursday, 20 November, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Goals Lounge, UN Headquarters, for a conversation with award-winning journalist and author Lyse Doucet about her book The Finest Hotel in Kabul.
Moderated by Annemarie Hou, Executive Director of the UN Office for Partnerships, the one-on-one discussion will explore themes of hope, resilience, and the human stories behind global headlines.
The Finest Hotel in Kabul is longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-Fiction; it offers a unique perspective on Afghanistan’s history through the lens of its most iconic landmark. Rather than focusing solely on conflict, the book highlights endurance and the everyday lives that intersect with extraordinary events.
Hear firsthand from a respected voice on international affairs and storytelling.
The event will be pre-recorded and streamed via UN Web TV at a later date.
