On September 4, the Baku Book Center hosted a special event with People’s Writer of Azerbaijan and Chairman of the Writers’ Union of Azerbaijan, Anar. The gathering was organized within the framework of the “Conversation with the Writer” project and welcomed readers, students, and book lovers eager to spend an evening with one of Azerbaijan’s most prominent literary figures. Anar is among the country’s best-selling authors, with more than 50 books published in various languages around the world. His body of work includes novels, plays, film scripts, poetry, and translations. Expressing his gratitude to the Baku Book Center for organizing the event, Anar emphasized that such initiatives play a key role in fostering a culture of reading and encouraging young people to develop a passion for books. During the discussion, the writer shared his thoughts on contemporary Azerbaijani literature, foreign authors who have influenced his worldview, as well as his experience in screenwriting and his leadership role at the Writers’ Union of Azerbaijan. He also revealed that he is currently working on a new autobiographical novel, which will feature memories of historical events, encounters with remarkable individuals, and impressions from his travels—an inspiring portrait that promises to captivate readers. Speaking about his cinematic projects, Anar noted that the life and creative legacy of the eminent Azerbaijani playwright Jafar Jabbarli could serve as the subject of his next screenplay.
