SUMMARY:Ben Hodgson & Laura Moulton in Conversation With Omar El Akkad
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, October 5 @ 5pm (PT) \nIn 2011\, Laura Moulton founded Street Books\, a mobile library serving people living outside in Portland\, Oregon. That summer\, Ben Hodgson became one of her most dedicated regulars\, setting the still-unbroken single season record for borrowing. Then Ben’s routines changed\, and he didn’t cross paths again with Laura for almost two years. Loaners: The Making of a Street Library (Perfect Day) is the story they began to tell when they reconnected\, offering a street-level perspective of a community whose stories are seldom told\, alternating between their two unforgettable points of view in this addictively readable\, occasionally sublime memoir. Hodgson and Moulton will be joined in conversation by Omar El Akkad\, author of What Strange Paradise and American War. \nRegister for the Zoom event  /  Buy the Book

SUMMARY:Laila Lalami: Kepler's Literary Foundation
DESCRIPTION:THIS IS AN ONLINE EVENT. Please consider joining with a book to support programs like this one. \nPulitzer Prize Finalist Laila Lalami—author of the acclaimed novels The Moor’s Account and The Other Americans—opens up with a deeply personal and powerfully researched book about the experience of “conditional citizens” living in the United States. \nWhat does it mean to be American? In this starkly illuminating and passionate detail\, Laila Lalami recounts her unlikely journey from Moroccan immigrant to U.S. citizen\, using it as a starting point for her exploration of the rights\, liberties\, and protections that are traditionally associated with American citizenship. Through a tour of history\, politics\, culture and literature\, in a book that Viet Thanh Nguyen calls “a gift to all Americans\,” Lalami clarifies a vision of the United States where accidents of birth are codified in a hierarchy that disenfranchises and limits some based on skin color and origin. Conditional citizens\, Lalami argues\, are all the people whom America embraces with one arm\, and pushes away with the other. \nOnline with Kepler’s on October 14 for the paperback release of Conditional Citizens\, one of our most compelling literary voices takes a hard look at a broken social fabric which limits the welcoming promise of our famously multicultural nation. In a period of continued international turmoil around borders\, a very real refugee crisis and embattled citizenship\, be prepared to join the conversation: don’t miss Laila Lalami. \n“Consistently thoughtful and incisive\, the book confronts the perils of our modern age with truths to inspire the coalition-building necessary to American cultural and democratic survival. A bracingly provocative collection perfect for our times.”—Kirkus Reviews

SUMMARY:Candid Conversations with Susan Abulhawa
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 21\, 2021 \n8:00 PM  9:00 PM (BST) – 12:00 PM 1:00PM (PST) \nGoogle Calendar  ICS \n\nNahr has been confined to the Cube: nine square metres of glossy grey cinderblock\, devoid of time\, its patterns of light and dark nothing to do with day and night. Journalists visit her\, but get nowhere; because Nahr is not going to share her story with them. The world outside calls Nahr a terrorist\, and a whore; some might call her a revolutionary\, or a hero. But the truth is\, Nahr has always been many things\, and had many names. She was a girl who learned\, early and painfully\, that when you are a second class citizen love is a kind of desperation; she learned\, above all else\, to survive.
