SUMMARY:Nadifa Mohamed with Cynthia Bond
DESCRIPTION:Even though it is virtual\, we are delighted to finally be able to present a reading/talk program with Nadifa Mohamed\, a writer we’ve read and followed through her first novels\, Black Mamba Boy and The Orchard of Lost Souls. Born in Hargeisa\, Somaliland and then raised and educated in London\, she has received the Betty Trask and Somerset Maugham Awards\, and in 2013 was named one of Granta’s Best Young British Novelists – a distinction which got her to Seattle as part of a group tour. She is virtually with us tonight for her compelling\, Man Booker shortlist nominated novel\, The Fortune Men (Knopf). Based on a true story\, the narrative centers on the unjust conviction (overturned years later) and execution of an innocent Somali immigrant\, Mahmood Mattan in Cardiff\, Wales in 1952. There is more to this book than that. \n“Equally informative and moving . . . The immediate allure of the novel is the vibrancy of Mohamed’s prose\, her ability to capture the complicated culture of Cardiff and the sound of tortured optimism. . . . The horrific finale of The Fortune Men is never in doubt\, but for more than 200 pages Mohamed still creates a sharp sense of suspense by pulling us right into Mahmood’s world as his life tilts and then crashes. . . . There’s a natural grandeur to her portrayal of this ordinary man caught in the city’s gears. Readers will hear echoes of Dostoevsky and Kafka in her re-creation of this nightmare. . . . With The Fortune Men\, Mohamed has given us a clear vision of so many victims caught in the maw of racist legal systems.”—Ron Charles\, The Washington Post. \n“Nadifa Mohamed’s The Fortune Men is a blues song cut straight from the heart. It tells about the unjust death of an innocent Black man caught up in a corrupt system. Nadifa’s masterful evocation of the full life of Mahmood Mattan\, the last man executed in Cardiff for a crime he was exonerated for forty years later\, is brought alive with subtle artistry and heartbreaking humanity. In one man’s life Mohamed captures the multitudes of homelands\, dialects\, hopes\, and prayers of Somalis\, Jews\, Maltese and West Indians drawn in by the ships that filled Wales’ Tiger Bay in the 1950’s\, all hoping for a future that eludes Mattan.”—Walter Mosley.

SUMMARY:Jonathan Smolin & Alaa Al Aswany: Virtual Event Elliott Bay Bookstore
DESCRIPTION:Ihsan Abdel Kouddous (1919-1990) was an iconic\, hugely important writer in Egypt and beyond\, during his lifetime and beyond. The author of numerous major novels\, his work has been too little known in English and to readers here. Thanks to translator Jonathan Smolin\, professor of Asian Studies at Dartmouth and translator from the Arabic of other such writers as Abdelilah Hamdouchi and Youssef Fadel\, his work is now more readily available\, this in the form of I Do Not Sleep (American University of Cairo Press)\, a sixty-year-old novel which shocked readers when it first appeared in the 1950s. Betrayal\, desire\, and family drama are all part of this\, the narrative being in the form of a letter written by a central protagonist. \n“What sets Ihsan Abdel Kouddous apart is his ability to combine\, on the page\, the different overlapping threads of politics and society.”―Al-Shorouk. \n“The novel I Do Not Sleep represents a turning point in Ihsan Abdel Kouddous’s narratorial style.”―Hafriyat. \nSlated to be with Jonathan Smolin to discuss I Do Not Sleep is Alaa Al Aswany\, one of the most acclaimed writers – Egyptian and otherwise – working today. His novels include The Yacoubian Building\, Chicago\, and\, most recently\, The Automobile Club of Egypt. T​​he recipient of numerous international literary awards\, he has had his books translated into over thirty languages.
