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.

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Shugri Said Salh with Mathangi Subramanian — The Last Nomad
DESCRIPTION:Third Place Books welcomes author Shugri Said Salh for a presentation of her debut memoir\, The Last Nomad: Coming of Age in the Somali Desert. She will be joined in conversation award-winning writer and educator Dr. Mathangi Subramanian. \n  \nAbout The Last Nomad. . .\n“I am the last nomad. My ancestors traveled the East African desert in search of grazing land for their livestock\, and the most precious resource of all—water. When they exhausted the land and the clouds disappeared from the horizon\, their accumulated ancestral knowledge told them where to move next to find greener pastures. They loaded their huts and belongings onto their most obedient camels and herded their livestock to a new home.” \nWhen Shugri Said Salh was six years old\, she was sent to live with her nomadic grandmother in the desert\, away from the city of Galkayo. Leaving behind her house\, her parents\, her father’s multiple wives\, and her many siblings\, she would become the last of her family to learn a once-common way of life. The desert held many risks\, from drought and hunger to the threat of predators\, but it also held beauty\, innovation\, and centuries of tradition. Shugri grew to love the freedom of roaming with her goats and the feeling of community in learning the courtship rituals\, cooking songs\, and poems of her people. She was even proud to face the rite of passage that all “respectable” girls undergo in Somalia\, a brutal female circumcision. \nIn time\, Shugri would return to live with her siblings in the city. Ultimately\, the family was forced to flee as refugees in the face of a civil war—first to Kenya\, then to Canada\, and finally to the United States. There\, Shugri would again find herself a nomad in a strange land\, learning to navigate everything from escalators to homeless shelters to\, ultimately\, marriage\, parenthood\, and nursing school. And she would approach each step of her journey with resilience and a liveliness that is all her own. \nAt once dramatic and witty\, The Last Nomad tells a story of tradition\, change\, and hope.

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:Home Away FROM HOME: Julian Pena Gallery
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to being of Middle Eastern descent and living in the U.S.\, one’s life experience includes regularly facing varying degrees of prejudice and discrimination. While these people feel grounded and a sense of belonging in their homes where their identities and cultures are very much alive\, they are forced to confront feelings of otherness when they step outside whether it’s through receiving judgmental glances\, harsh words or physical violence. With eyes on the outside\, Middle Easterners who live in other parts of the world experience these struggles indirectly; feeling an instinctive connection to those in the U.S.\, they are affected by what they see and hear on the news or social media. “Home Away From Home” exhibits original work by artists of Middle Eastern descent living in the U.S. and abroad who attempt to explore themes of underrepresentation\, isolation and racism while navigating the physical and emotional disconnect between themselves\, their cultures and the places they call home.

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:Omar El Akkad with Jeff VanderMeer (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Novelist Omar El Akkad\, now living south of here in Portland\, but for many years an award-winning international journalist living and working out of Toronto\, blew readers away a few years ago with his eerily prescient first novel\, American War. He gave a moving reading from that at Elliott Bay. We anticipate similar engagement for readers attending this – and reading – his haunting\, beautifully written new novel\, What Strange Paradise (Knopf). There is an overwhelmed boat filled with refugees fleeing homelands such as Syria\, Ethiopia\, Lebanon\, Palestine\, a boat which\, in time\, capsizes. There is a survivor\, a young boy\, and his attempts to elude would-be captors\, aided by a young girl living on the island he has washed ashore upon. These are the bare bones of what Omar El Akkad does with extraordinary skill\, empathy\, compassion. \n“What Strange Paradise is by turns tender and brutal in its truths. It is tremendously written\, propulsive as it is expansive as it is granular in its specificities. Omar El Akkad writes with such emotional precision\, power\, and grace. Here we get the wondrousness of children set in sharp relief against a backdrop of the all too common dehumanization then dismissal of refugees everywhere. The book devastates and uplifts\, somehow\, and we are not left with hope—that isn’t the point—but asked to witness\, to see what is here\, with clarity\, and with fullness of heart.” —Tommy Orange. \n“What Strange Paradise by Omar El Akkad just resuscitated my heart. This novel—following a boy who survives a refugee passage\, and a girl whose homeland feels fractured—dares to unite us on the shore of shared human experience\, and redefines hope in the face of despair. I want to read this book every single day. I want to live in a world where the beauty of strangers is a heartsong.”  —Lidia Yuknavitch. \nWith Omar El Akkad in conversation this evening will be the wonderful writer Jeff VanDerMeer\, who recently did an evening such as this for Elliott Bay readers with his own newest novel\, Hummingbird Salamander. A generous supporter of other writers and many good causes\, he and Omar El Akkad have some interesting shared literary ‘history’ of a good sort\, which will no doubt come out this evening.

SUMMARY:Disrupted Pasts\, Displaced Futures: Arte Archive
DESCRIPTION:Disrupted Pasts\, Displaced Futures is a selection of moving image works by contemporary artists from the Middle East and North Africa\, blending science fiction\, arabfuturism\, and magic realism to tackle themes of displacement\, migration\, and climate crisis. Responding to an unstable present through the lens of the future\, these alternate realities open a space where new possibilities emerge. \nFeatured Artists: Meriem Bennani\, Mariam Mekiwi\, Larissa Sansour \nRSVP HERE \nThe 4 Movies Featured Are: \nParty on the CAPS synopsis: In a world where teleportation has replaced planes\, a wacky crocodile named Fiona tells of life on the CAPS: an island-turned-refugee-camp for illegal immigrants caught mid-teleportation. Themes of displacement\, biotechnology and privacy are evoked through the augmented reality of a raucous birthday party in the Moroccan quarter of the CAPS. Mixing the languages of reality TV\, advertising\, documentary and high-end commercial aesthetics\, Bennani explores the potential of storytelling through magical realism and humour. \n  \nBefore I Forget Synopsis: El Captain disappears\, one of his disciples takes a journey in the ocean to cut off the internet cable\, the water level is rising\, an amphibian woman appears at the shore looking for her mother\, and the memories of two women in a ward intertwine. Scientist Dr. Sharaf is trying to congregate all of them – the members of the secret society of amphibians – in an attempt to save the world. \n  \nNation Estate synopsis: With its glossy mixture of computer-generated imagery\, live actors\, and an arabesque electronica soundtrack\, the Nation Estate film explores a vertical solution to Palestinian statehood. Palestinians have their state in the form of a single skyscraper: the Nation Estate. One colossal high-rise houses the entire Palestinian population – now finally living the high life. \n  \nIn the Future They Ate from the Finest Porcelain synopsis: Combining live-action and computer-generated imagery\, In the Future They Ate from the Finest Porcelain explores the role of myth in history\, fact\, and national identity. A narrative resistance group makes underground deposits of elaborate porcelain\, which they suggest belonged to an entirely fictional civilization. Their aim is to influence history and support future claims to their vanishing lands. \n  \nplus a recorded discussion with the directors! \n  \n

SUMMARY:Omar El Akkad in Conversation With Roy Scranton
DESCRIPTION:From Omar El Akkad\, the widely acclaimed author of American War\, comes What Strange Paradise (Knopf)\, a beautifully written\, unrelentingly dramatic\, and profoundly moving new novel that brings the global refugee crisis down to the level of a child’s eyes. More bodies have washed up on the shores of a small island. Another overfilled\, ill-equipped\, dilapidated ship has sunk under the weight of its too many passengers: Syrians\, Ethiopians\, Egyptians\, Lebanese\, Palestinians\, all of them desperate to escape untenable lives in their homelands. And only one has made the passage: nine-year-old Amir\, a Syrian boy who has the good fortune to fall into the hands not of the officials but of Vänna: a teenage girl\, native to the island\, who lives inside her own sense of homelessness in a place and among people she has come to disdain. And though she and the boy are complete strangers\, though they don’t speak a common language\, she determines to do whatever it takes to save him. In alternating chapters\, we learn the story of the boy’s life and of how he came to be on the boat; and we follow the girl and boy as they make their way toward a vision of safety. But as the novel unfurls we begin to understand that this is not merely the story of two children finding their way through a hostile world\, it is the story of our collective moment in this time: of empathy and indifference\, of hope and despair — and of the way each of those things can blind us to reality\, or guide us to a better one. El Akkad will be joined in conversation by Roy Scranton\, author of Learning to Die in the Anthropocene and We’re Doomed. Now What?. \nRegister for the Zoom event  /  Buy the Book

SUMMARY:Palestinian Virtual Pop-up Book Club: MINOR DETAIL by Adania Shibli
DESCRIPTION:Please click here to register for this event. \nJoin writers Susan Muaddi Darraj and Sahar Mustafah in conversation about Minor Detail\, the critically acclaimed novel by Palestinian author Adania Shibli. Her book was a 2020 finalist for the National Book Translation Award and longlisted for The International Booker Prize. Minor Detail is this year’s One Book\, Many Communities selection by Librarians and Archivists with Palestine. Celebrate by reading the book and joining the discussion. \nBook Synopsis\nMinor Detail begins during the summer of 1949\, one year after the war that the Palestinians mourn as the Nakba–the catastrophe that led to the displacement and exile of some 700\,000 people–and the Israelis celebrate as the War of Independence. Israeli soldiers murder an encampment of Bedouin in the Negev desert\, and among their victims they capture a Palestinian teenager and they rape her\, kill her\, and bury her in the sand. Many years later\, in the near-present day\, a young woman in Ramallah tries to uncover some of the details surrounding this particular rape and murder\, and becomes fascinated to the point of obsession\, not only because of the nature of the crime\, but because it was committed exactly twenty-five years to the day before she was born. Adania Shibli masterfully overlays these two translucent narratives of exactly the same length to evoke a present forever haunted by the past.
