SUMMARY:Professor Karam Dana at Third Place Books: To Stand with Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Although Palestinians have long been demonized in U.S. media and politics\, their struggle portrayed as illegitimate\, emergent progressive voices increasingly challenge the status quo on Israel and Palestine and express solidarity with Palestinian resistance. What accounts for this change and its evolution?\nThird Place Books is pleased to welcome University of Washington Bothell professor Dr. Karam Dana for a presentation and discussion of his new book\, To Stand with Palestine: Transnational Resistance and Political Evolution in the United States. Timely and insightful\, To Stand with Palestine offers an inside look at how Palestinians have shared their story with the world and why sympathy for their plight is growing\, with significant implications for the global political landscape. He will be joined in conversation by UW professor Dr. Reşat Kasaba. This event is free and open to the public. \nFor important updates\, RSVP is highly recommended in advance. This event will include a public signing and time for audience Q&A. Sustain our author series by purchasing a copy of the featured book! \nHaving trouble accessing Eventbrite? Click here.

SUMMARY:Author Laila Lalami at Elliot Bay Bookstore
DESCRIPTION:Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist Laila Lalami visits the store to celebrate the release of her latest novel. The Dream Hotel is a riveting and utterly original novel about one woman’s fight for freedom\, set in a near future where even dreams are under surveillance. \nThis event is free to the public. Please help us plan for audience size by RSVPing here. \nSara has just landed at LAX\, returning home from a conference abroad\, when agents from the Risk Assessment Administration pull her aside and inform her that she will soon commit a crime. Using data from her dreams\, the RAA’s algorithm has determined that she is at imminent risk of harming the person she loves most: her husband. For his safety\, she must be kept under observation for twenty-one days. \nThe agents transfer Sara to a retention center\, where she is held with other dreamers\, all of them women trying to prove their innocence from different crimes. With every deviation from the strict and ever-shifting rules of the facility\, their stay is extended. Months pass and Sara seems no closer to release. Then one day\, a new resident arrives\, disrupting the order of the facility and leading Sara on a collision course with the very companies that have deprived her of her freedom. \nEerie\, urgent\, and ceaselessly clear-eyed\, The Dream Hotel artfully explores the seductive nature of technology\, which puts us in shackles even as it makes our lives easier. Lalami asks how much of ourselves must remain private if we are to remain free\, and whether even the most invasive forms of surveillance can ever capture who we really are. \nLaila Lalami is the author of five books\, including The Moor’s Account\, which won the American Book Award\, the Arab-American Book Award\, and the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award; was on the longlist for the Booker Prize; and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Her most recent novel\, The Other Americans\, was a national bestseller\, won the Simpson/Joyce Carol Oates Prize\, and was a finalist for the National Book Award. Her books have been translated into twenty languages. Lalami’s writing appears regularly in the Los Angeles Times\, The Washington Post\, The Nation\, Harper’s\, The Guardian\, and The New York Times. She has been awarded fellowships from the British Council\, the Fulbright Program\, the Guggenheim Foundation\, and the Radcliffe Institute at Harvard University. She lives in Los Angeles.
