SUMMARY:Lena Khalaf Tuffaha with Claudia Castro Luna and Rachel Edelman at Elliott Bay Book Company
DESCRIPTION:Poet and friend of the store Lena Khalaf Tuffaha returns for the launch of her latest collection\, Kaan and Her Sisters. Fellow poets Claudia Castro Luna and Rachel Edelman will join her for the reading. \nKaan and Her Sisters illuminates the work of grief and survival\, the sordid legacies of official historical record and the liberatory practice of intimate narration. Tuffaha writes in the liminal space between languages\, personifying Arabic verbs who guide the reader through a “history hurtling into the future.” Kaan and Her Sisters centers character of the Arabic teacher\, Miss Sahar\, whose progressive displacements from Palestine and across Arab cities unfold in epistles\, refashioned songs\, and glimpses into the interiors of her lost home. In these disclosures\, a study of time and a record of resistance to erasure emerges\, and at its heart\, the women who keep intergenerational memory. “Our mothers miraculous\, persevering./No maps are new to the ancestors.” \nLena Khalaf Tuffaha is the author of Water & Salt\, winner of the 2018 Washington State Book Award. She is the translator and curator of the Poems from Palestine series at the Baffler magazine. She is the winner of the 2022 Akron Prize for Poetry\, for her book Something About Living (U of Akron Press\, 2024). Her second book of poems\, Kaan & Her Sisters is available now from Trio House Press. \nClaudia Castro Luna has been an Academy of American Poets Poet Laureate fellow\, the Washington State Poet Laureate\, and Seattle’s inaugural Civic Poet. She is the author of Cipota Under the Moon; One River\, A Thousand Voices; the Pushcart nominated Killing Marías\, shortlisted for the Washington State 2018 Book Award in poetry; and the chapbook This City. Her most recent nonfiction can be found in the anthology There’s a Revolution Outside\, My Love: Letters from a Crisis. Born in El Salvador\, she came to the United States in 1981. Living in English and Spanish\, Claudia writes and teaches in Seattle on unceded Duwamish lands where she gardens and keeps chickens with her husband and their three children. \nRachel Edelman is a Jewish poet raised in Memphis\, TN whose writing explores the creative work of diasporic living. Her poems have appeared in Narrative\, The Seventh Wave\, West Branch\, and many other journals\, and she has received material support from the Academy of American Poets\, the University of Washington\, Mineral School\, Crosstown Arts\, and Tin House. She teaches Language Arts in the Seattle Public Schools\, where embodiment and care root her personal\, poetic\, and pedagogical practice. Her debut book\, Dear Memphis\, will be published by River River Books in January 2024.

SUMMARY:Author Danny Ramadan at Elliott Bay Book Company
DESCRIPTION:Down from his Vancouver home where\, in addition to writing\, Danny Ramadan has been an activist and advocate\, in particular for LGBTQ+ refugees from Syria and the Middle East. The author of an award-winning Canadian children’s book\, Salma the Syrian Chef\, and a debut novel that was shortlisted for the Lambda Literary Award\, The Clothesline Swing\, he is here tonight with his new novel\, The Foghorn Echoes (Canongate Books). Set between a Damascus riven by war and Vancouver\, with time spanning a decade\, this is an extraordinary book of hard-sought love between two young men. \n”The Foghorn Echoes is a deeply moving book about conflict both internal and external\, the ways in which cold accidents – of birth\, of place\, of time – can leave a human being at war with their own desires\, their own sense of self. Danny Ramadan is a gifted\, sensitive excavator of the things that break people and put them back together\, the past as weight and lightness. In this novel he has created a world of immense sensory and emotional precision\, at once true in its living details and yet electric with the presence of ghosts.” – Omar El Akkad.\n”The Foghorn Echoes bristles. It burns bright. It shouts into the dark with a voice that hovers between a melody and a lamentation. Danny Ramadan writes in these pages with a spellbinding urgency\, stripping bare some of the most painful and fundamental truths about displacement and grief\, about rage and betrayal. In the process\, he reminds us again and again that even the worst of memories contain redemptive powers. This novel is a tender and impassioned love story for a country\, for a people\, and for all those who refuse to disappear quietly into the land of the forgotten.” – Maaza Mengiste. \nDanny RamadanFriday Nov 11 2022 7:00pm – 8:00pm\nLive/In-Person at Elliott Bay Book Company.\n1521 10th Ave. Seattle\, WA  98122

SUMMARY:Sanaa Seif with Sharif Abdel Kouddous (in person)
DESCRIPTION:Making this Seattle visit as part of a national\, in-person tour around the U.S. are Egyptian activist\, film editor\, and one-time political prisoner Sanaa Seif\, along with Cairo-based independent journalist Sharif Abdel Kouddous. They will be discussing the extraordinary book of Sanaa Seif’s imprisoned brother Alaa Abd El-Fattah’s writings\, You Have Not Been Defeated: Selected Works (Seven Stories). Alaa Abd El-Fattah is probably the highest profile political prisoner currently being held in Egypt – one of many\, however\, including Sanaa Seif herself until recently. \n“You can’t jail a revolution. Alaa Abd el-Fattah is proof. These essays\, many handwritten and smuggled from a prison cell\, breathe life into the 2011 moment\, what shaped its revolutionary possibilities and terrible betrayals. This book is a memory of Tahrir Square that still reverberates like a heartbeat throughout the world.”– Nick Estes. \n“In a totalitarian system where even ideas are punishable with imprisonment\, this collection of essays from one of Egypt’s most high-profile political prisoners is like an oasis in a desolate landscape. Part manifesto\, part memoir\, and part record of some of Abd El-Fattah’s trial scenes that are more than worthy of Kafka\, the book contains passages smuggled out from Cairo’s infamous Tora prison.”– Ruth Michaelson\, The Guardian. \n“Written with blood and fire\, You Have Not Yet Been Defeated is a brilliant and devastating testament by one of Egypt’s great revolutionaries.”– Molly Crabapple. \nThis is scheduled to be a live/in-person program at Elliott Bay Book Company. Registration is optional.

SUMMARY:Jordan Salama with Michael Shapiro (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:A journalist and TV producer who works in both English and Spanish\, Jordan Salama’s debut\, Every Day the River Changes: Four Weeks Down the Magdalena (Catapult)\, received such awards as the Ricardo Piglia Award and Stanley J. Stein Prize for Best Senior Thesis at Princeton University (yes\, he’s young – this started as a senior thesis) on the way to becoming a book. \n“Jordan Salama writes with an attentiveness\, and a sense of adventure\, that many of us might envy; this engaging\, intrepid debut promises many more wonders to come. Already he’s shown himself to be a writer with a rare (and inspiring) commitment to giving us the world.” —Pico Iyer. \n“The book is more than a notable achievement in travel literature and more than a clarifying window into a misunderstood culture; it is a book of conscience and open-heartedness . . . It is a privilege to savor\, if vicariously\, this harvest of a promising writer’s vivid journeys.” —Kirkus Reviews. \n“This is a born journalist.”—John McPhee. \nJoining Jordan Salama in virtual conversation will be rafting guide\, interview journalist (Spark)\, and author Michael Shapiro. His recent book is The Creative Spark: How Musicians\, Writers\, Explorers\, and Other Artists Found Their Inner Fire and Followed Their Dreams. \nCo-presented by ORION & Elliott Bay Book Company. \nREGISTRATION/INFORMATION \n\nSyrian/Iraqi

SUMMARY:A.S. Hamrah at Elliott Bay Book Company
DESCRIPTION:Writer and film critic A.S. Hamrah has many admirers\, including our booksellers at Elliott Bay\, and we’re very excited to have the opportunity to host a conversation with him tonight about his work\, some of which was collected in his book\, The Earth Dies Streaming: Film Writing 2002-2018 (n+1). \n“Hamrah is committed to his ambivalence\, conveying it with a mixture of precision and conviction that will remind you how much more there is to be gleaned from a review than whether a movie is ‘good ’ or ‘bad ’ (even if it’s a movie you happen to deem very good or very bad indeed) . . . A political awareness imbues Hamrah’s criticism without weighing it down. He doesn’t succumb to a leaden moralizing because he pays close attention to the medium he’s writing about\, alert to what he sees and hears.” —Jennifer Szalai\, New York Times. \nA. S. Hamrah has been n+1’s film critic since 2008 and was the editor of the magazine’s film review supplement. He also writes for a number of other publications including Harper’s\, The Baffler\, and Bookforum. He has worked as a movie theater projectionist\, a semiotic brand analyst\, a political pollster\, a football cinematographer\, a zine writer\, and for the film director Raúl Ruiz. \nCo-presented with Seattle International Film Festival. \n  \n\nI couldn’t find Hamrah’s ethinicity on line BUT I am assuming with the last name Hamrah that he must be! (Please let me know if you know otherwise!)

SUMMARY:Malaka Gharib:  I Was Their American Dream
DESCRIPTION:I Was Their American Dream is at once a coming-of-age story and a reminder of the thousands of immigrants who come to America in search for a better life for themselves and their children. The daughter of parents with unfulfilled dreams themselves\, Malaka navigated her childhood chasing her parents’ ideals\, learning to code-switch between her family’s Filipino and Egyptian customs\, adapting to white culture to fit in\, crushing on skater boys\, and trying to understand the tension between holding onto cultural values and trying to be an all-American kid. \nMalaka Gharib’s triumphant graphic memoir brings to life her teenage antics and illuminates earnest questions about identity and culture\, while providing thoughtful insight into the lives of modern immigrants and the generation of millennial children they raised. Malaka’s story is a heartfelt tribute to the American immigrants who have invested their future in the promise of the American dream. \nMALAKA GHARIB is an artist\, journalist\, and writer based in Washington\, D.C. She is the founder of The Runcible Spoon\, a food zine\, and the co-founder of the D.C. Art Book Fair. She lives in a row house with her husband Darren and her 9-year-old rice cooker.

Fast Company cited Majd Mashhawari as one of the Most Creative People in Business for 2018.  https://www.fastcompany.com/person/majd-mashharawi \nCo-presented with ARCHITECTURE FOR REFUGEES USA and ARCHITECTS WITHOUT BORDERS \n\n
