10 new beach reads in Dubai

For anyone with a passion for the written word, this week heralds two important diary dates in the literary calendar. Saturday September 8 is UNESCO’s International Literacy Day, which aims to raise public awareness for the importance of literacy in communities and societies, while the Man Booker Prize shortlist is announced on Tuesday September 11. To help you select which books to take to the beach this weekend, we’ve chosen three UAE-related titles (either written by a local author or set in the region), plus our picks from the Man Booker longlist that we think deserve your attention. Happy reading!
