SUMMARY:Author: Salma El-Wardany (virtual)
DESCRIPTION:This midday Saturday virtual reading sends us over the Atlantic to wherever Egyptian/Irish poet\, novelist\, spoken word performer and BBC broadcaster Salma El-Wardany may be. She is here with her much-anticipated\,  brilliant first novel\, These Impossible Things (Grand Central). \n“These Impossible Things is an addictive portrait of three Muslim friends moving through a pivotal time in womanhood\, caught between expectation and possibility\, hungry to earn wisdom of their own. Salma El-Wardany deftly reveals searing and poignant truths about the female experience\, ones so rarely confronted in fiction. What a gift to be inside this author’s mind through the pages of her beautiful and memorable writing.”—Ashley Audrain. \n“Salacious\, incisive\, and unapologetically Muslim\, Salma El-Wardany’s bold and brilliant story doesn’t shy away from the taboo subjects of religion and sex. These Impossible Things shows that Muslim women are multifaceted and complex despite the dearth of representation we are allowed.”—Blair Imani. \nVirtually hosted by Elliott Bay Book Company.

SUMMARY:Virtual US Book Launch Event - "Oranges from Jaffa\," by Nadine Sayegh
DESCRIPTION:Oranges from Jaffa – A true story about the end of the golden age of Palestine\nPlease join us for a conversation with and a reading of book excerpts by the book author\, Nadine Sayegh\, who is an Austrian Palestinian with Jaffa roots. \n\n\n\n\nJaffa Oranges is a family history\, a novel against oblivion. The book presents the coming of age story of Nicolas Sayegh\, a Palestinian Tom-Sawyer-type\, who\, together with his friends\, roams the sun-drenched neighborhood streets of Jaffa in 1947 – an ancient Arab city\, the commercial capital of Palestine at the time\, fragrant with the smell of orange blossoms. Nicolas is always up to childhood adventures and mischief\, exploring his parents’ magical orange groves\, parading through his neighborhood like a cowboy on a donkey’s back\, or sneaking out with his best friend Suhail to the local Alhambra cinema. The story poetically portrays the daily life of a well-to-do Christian Palestinian family and the people of Jaffa as a whole\, giving insights into the local Palestinian culture that was prevalent at the time. However\, Nicolas’ carefree days and boyhood ended abruptly in the spring of 1948\, when the state of Israel was created and most inhabitants of Jaffa were driven out by the Zionist forces.

SUMMARY:Conner Habib at Powell Books (Portland)
DESCRIPTION:An English teacher is gaslit by his charismatic high school bully in a tense story of deception\, manipulation\, and murder from Conner Habib\, host of the Against Everyone with Conner Habib podcast. Single father Todd is relaxing at the beach with his son\, Anthony\, when he catches sight of a man approaching from the water’s edge. As the man draws closer\, Todd recognizes him as Jack\, who bullied Todd relentlessly in their teenage years but now seems overjoyed to have “run into” his old friend. Jack suggests a meal to catch up. And can he spend the night? What follows is a fast-paced story of obsession and cunning. As Jack invades Todd’s life\, pain and intimidation from the past unearth knife-edge suspense in the present. Set in a small town on the New England coast\, Habib’s debut introduces characters trapped in isolation by the expansive woods and the encroaching ocean\, their violence an expression of repressed desire and the damage it can inflict.

His prose is as brutal as it is profound and beautiful…. A brutal and gorgeous tale of manipulation\, control\, and desire.” Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)\nReview\n“Conner Habib’s debut novel is a bleak\, dark adrenaline rush.” Clive Barker\nReview\n“A deeply disturbing yet\, somehow\, soaring novel I won’t soon forget. It plumbs the depths of traumatized characters trapped within our damaging culture. I couldn’t look away\, even when I was looking from between my fingers.” Paul Tremblay\, author of A Head Full of Ghosts and The Pallbearers Club\nReview\n“The opening lines of Hawk Mountain plummet you into an atmosphere of creeping dread and precarious restraint that won’t let up until the final\, shocking moments.” Caitlin Doughty\, bestselling author of Smoke Gets In Your Eyes\nAbout the Author\nConner Habib hosts the podcast Against Everyone with Conner Habib\, which features conversations with artists\, intellectuals\, and countercultural figures\, and covers topics as wide-ranging as punk rock\, philosophy\, pornography\, and occultism. His nonfiction writing has appeared in multiple online and print magazines. He lives in Ireland. Hawk Mountain is his first novel.
