Paradiso 17 with author Hannah Lillith Assadi
2026-03-25 19:00 - 20:00 | Elliott Bay Book Company, 1521 10th Avenue, Seattle, 98122, United States
Hannah Lillith Assadi
Wednesday March 25th, 2026 @ 7:00PM – 8:00 PM

Novelist Hannah Lillith Assadi visits the store for her latest book Paradiso 17, inspired by the life of her late Palestinian father, which follows one man’s restless search for home the world over, as the pendulum of fate swings between loss and life, grief and euphoria, regret and hope.
Registration is not required, but helps us anticipate audience size. If you’d like to RSVP, please do so here!
“There is something miraculous about Paradiso 17, about the poetry that seems to guide every sentence of this exquisite novel. With stunning intimacy, Hannah Lillith Assadi has crafted an unforgettable story about the many stunted afterlives of hyphenated belonging. In this book live some of the most complex characters I’ve read in a long time, and a deeply nuanced exploration of exile as both event and inheritance.” —Omar El Akkad, author of One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This
“Paradiso 17 is remarkable. It’s a novel of unearthing, a story of quiet explosions, of memories lost and recovered. It’s urgent and necessary. Read it as an intimate family tale, as mythos, or as history—but read it, read it, read it.” —Rabih Alameddine, author of The Wrong End of the Telescope
All his life, exile has been the shadow stitched to the sole of Sufien’s shoe.
Born in Palestine on the precipice of 1948’s Nakba, Sufien is forced to leave the only home he’s ever known, the one on the hill with a beautiful blue door. This is the precise moment when time stops making sense. He spends the rest of his life propelled forward, always on the way—although in search of what, he is never quite sure. In the dusty, oil-rich desert of Kuwait, he meets his first love and decides he must leave his family. In a small Italian university town, he spends his youth wrapped up in the sweet promise of the West and the forgetful assurance of wine. When life takes him to a gritty New York, he discovers his true vocation and falls for a Jewish woman born into a wholly different world. Finally, he finds himself recalled to the wild, vast open skies of the desert, in Arizona.
Sufien’s life spans friendships lost and maintained, a stint selling leathers at a tanner’s stall, the ineffable company of cats, and the freedom of the open road, the glowing pride of fatherhood, Sufi myths, prophetic dreams, and visions of the afterlife—and always, always, no matter how far he chases joy, the sweet, treacherous song of a balcony urging him to fly, to fall, to fall. The lyrical pages of Paradiso 17 weave in and out of time and space, beginning at the end and ending at the beginning. They are haunting, haunted with grief, struck through, as Dante once wrote, with “the arrow that the bow of exile / shoots first,” and yet they throb with light—not just the light that Sufien sees as he approaches his own end, but the brilliant light of a life lived.
Like all of our dead, Sufien still speaks, the book begins. Listen, this is his story.
Hannah Lillith Assadi, a National Book Foundation 5 Under 35 honoree, teaches fiction at the Columbia University School of the Arts and the Pratt Institute. She is the author of Sonora, which received the Rosenthal Family Foundation Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters and was a finalist for the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize for Debut Fiction. Her second novel, The Stars Are Not Yet Bells, was a New Yorker and NPR best book of 2022. Raised in Arizona, she lives in Brooklyn, New York.

He Never Dies: The Films of Kalil Haddad (18+)
Kalil Haddad, 2020-2025, Canada, 70m, English
Northwest Film Forum is excited to present the Seattle debut of the work of Toronto-based filmmaker Kalil Haddad. HE NEVER DIES: THE FILMS OF KALIL HADDAD collects six of Haddad’s short films, each a display of his idiosyncratic and radical approach to the depiction and use of queer subjectivities in visual media. Seamlessly moving between narrative, documentary, and archival approaches to filmmaking, Haddad’s films interrogate notions of desire and exploitation across lines of sexuality, race, and class in order to uncover often hidden truths about how we use and abuse those that we see, but often do not know.
Curated and presented by Kalil Haddad, Tony Nguyen, and Cole Wilder.

A Garden in Yaffa by Hanna Eady
2026-03-28 19:00 - 20:30, 2026-03-29 19:00 - 20:30 | Cherry Street Village, 720 25th Avenue, Seattle, WA, United States
Explore the Palestinian Right of Return with our new play and talkback!
March 28 & 29, 2026, 7:00 pm: A GARDEN IN YAFFA Written & directed by Hanna Eady
Free admission | Cherry Street Village, 720 25th Ave, Seattle 98122
At age 85, Umm Salaah makes the long trek from a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon to her beloved family home in Yaffa–which she hasn’t seen since age 5, when her family was forced to flee. On returning, Umm Salaah finds “a beautiful white woman the same age as me” who has been living in the house for decades. This woman, Sara, invites Umm Salaah into the garden, and a conversation begins.
This play, presented as a performance reading with gifted Seattle actors Annette Toutonghi and Meg Savlov, explores the premise of Palestinians returning to their homes and how this might play out. The two actors are joined by a chorus that sometimes speaks in English, sometimes in Arabic. The chorus offers both witness and commentary, from vivid everyday details (“In Tulkarm, we have manaeesh za’atar”) to deeper truths (“We do not die; the repetition of our tragedy makes death as normal as life”).
A GARDEN IN YAFFA runs 35 minutes. After the performance, the audience will be invited to a conversation about Palestinian Right of Return and what this might mean in philosophical, practical, and human terms. Edward Mast, cofounder of Dunya Productions and dramaturg for the performance, will moderate the discussion. Playwright Hanna Eady will also be present.
Note: Due to the lead actors’ membership in Actors’ Equity Association, we’re following AEA guidelines for publicity–no press release, website, or social media; invitation by non-public communications only. We encourage you to help spread the word by inviting friends via personal email, text message, Messenger, or WhatsApp. Thank you!
We look forward to seeing you there! The Dunya Productions Team

No Profits from Stolen Culture

Join us to let @falafelsalam know appropriation of Palestinian food, language, and culture are not okay at Chuck’s Hop Shop CD, which continues to host this former IOF soldier and supporter of Israel. chuckshopshopgw chuckshopshopseward
@falafelsalam made a post indicating that he is a victim and that the truth is not true. The truth:
(1) He served in the IOF.
(2) He learned Palestinian recipes from a Palestinian, as he admitted himself, but conveniently leaves that part out of his business history.
(3) He caters pro-Israel events.
(4) He is Israeli and uses Arabic to conceal his identity – refusing to use falafel shalom.
On his post deflecting any and all responsibility for the above, many local businesses voiced their support for his ongoing appropriation – boycott them, too:
