SUMMARY:Mortada Gzar Discusses "I'm In Seattle\, Where Are You?"

It’s love at first sight\, a threat to them both\, and a moment of self-discovery. Challenged by society’s rejection and Morise’s return to the US\, Mortada takes to the page to understand himself. \nIn his deeply affecting memoir\, Mortada interweaves tales of his childhood work as a scrap-metal collector in a war zone and the indignities faced by openly gay artists in Iraq with his impossible love story and journey to the US. Marginalized by his own society\, he is surprised to discover the racism he finds in a new one. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS: \nIraqi novelist\, filmmaker\, journalist\, and visual artist Mortada Gzar was born in Kuwait in 1982\, grew up in Basra\, Iraq\, and now lives in Seattle\, Washington. He earned a degree in petroleum engineering from the University of Baghdad and was later a member of the International Writing Program at the University of Iowa.
