SUMMARY:Virtual Book Launch - In My Mother's Footsteps by Mona Hajjar Halaby
DESCRIPTION:All times are based on US EDT – 12 Noon = 7:00 PM in Palestine. \n\nPlease click here to register for this event. \n“Refugees are like seeds that scatter in the wind\, and land in different soils that become their reluctant homes\,” my mother once told me. As a small child\, I looked up at my mother and clutched her hand. The puffiness of her palm reminded me of a loaf of warm pita bread\, and when she laced her fingers into mine like a pretzel\, I felt safe. I would have walked with her to the ends of the earth. \nWhen Mona moved from California to Ramallah to teach conflict resolution at the Ramallah Friends School for a year\, she kept a journal. Within its pages\, she wrote her impressions of her homeland\, a place she had only experienced through her mother’s memories.

SUMMARY:Leïla Slimani w/ Elliott Bay Book Company
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to be partnering with nous amis at Alliance Française de Seattle to virtually present one of the most dynamic writers in the world today\, France-based Moroccan writer Leïla Slimani. Author of (these are titles in English) Adèle\, The Perfect Nanny\, and Sex and Lies\, books which have garnered critical acclaim in France and all over the world\, she is here with her newest\, published in the U.S. as In the Country of Others (Penguin). Originally published as Le Pays de Arbes (Gaillmard)\, which we should have copies on-hand of\, along with the English translation\, this book is the first of a projected trilogy\, loosely tracing Leïla Slimani’s own family story. \n“The world of this novel – Morocco after World War II\, leading up to the revolt against French colonialism – is beautifully created. Personal life\, social life\, everyday life spring vividly from the page\, and we feel deeply for the family caught in the middle of the conflict of history. An exceptional\, powerful novel from this justly celebrated writer.”  – Salman Rushdie. \n“Leïla Slimani is a wonderful writer\, and this gorgeous novel brings vibrantly to life the vanished world of 1950s Morocco\, in a narrative at once richly layered and deceptively simple. I loved it and didn’t want it to end.”  -Claire Messud. \n“A powerful and compelling family saga—about women and subjugation\, otherness and belonging\, and the often conflicting loyalty to both family and country—written with a deftness that has come to define Leïla Slimani’s writing. It will no doubt resonate in the reader’s mind long after the final sentence is read.”  – Christine Mangan. \nPresented by ALLIANCE FRANÇAISE DE SEATTLE and Elliott Bay Book Company.

SUMMARY:Yassin Adnan and Alex Elinson with Laila Lalami
DESCRIPTION:Moroccan author Yassin Adnan\, translator Alexander Elinson\, and longtime Elliott Bay friend and noted\, award-winning author Laila Lalami are all set to virtually be on hand for this program centered around the U.S. publication of Yassin Adnan’s spirited novel\, Hot Maroc (Syracuse University Press). \n“Finally\, the vibrant work of Yassin Adnan is available in English. Alexander Elinson’s playful translation of Hot Maroc brings us into the heart of today’s Marrakech\, an ancient city weathering the rapid changes brought by modernization\, globalization\, and\, most importantly in this book\, the Internet. At once a commemoration of the past and an insightful look at our influence on the present\, Hot Maroc expands our ideas of a country that has been woefully underrepresented in English-language literature\, while taking us on a wild ride through an anonymous online world that holds the power to reveal our true selves.”—Emma Ramadan. \n“A witness to his age like any true writer\, Yassin Adnan paints a complex and forceful portrait of a Morocco where so often\, reality exceeds fiction. Fluidly and beautifully written\, this novel is a superb addition to a youthful new wave of Moroccan creative work.”—Tahar Ben Jelloun. \nIf we have people properly ‘situated’ for this evening which the zoom era makes possible\, author Yassin Adnan will be joining us from Marrakech (where he has long been an esteemed prose writer\, poet\, and journalist)\, Alexander Elinson from New York (where he is head of the Arabic program at Hunter College\, CUNY\, and has written his own books and translated works by Youssef Fadel)\, and Laila Lalami\, serving as interlocutor and guide here\, joining us from southern California\, teaching there at the University of California\, Riverside\, and writing several acclaimed novels\, with her most recent book being a timely book of essays\, Conditional Citizens.\nThis should be a delight on several counts.
