Shameless promotion
Jan. 9th, 2008 03:34 pmFor those of you in the Bay Area:
Many of you know that I (and Adam) work for a Jewish education non-profit. We are hosting a reading on Tues, Jan. 15, that might interest you, or your literary friends. Sayed Kashua (I couldn't find a good web link for him) is an Arab-Israeli, and from all accounts is HIGHLY regarded in Israel. The bio we have for him says he is 28, a journalist, novelist, tv critic and Palestinian. Here is an Amazon link to his latest novel, Let It Be Morning.
Even though I haven't read any of his books, I'm really looking forward to hearing him read.
Info below, and feel free to pass it along to anyone you know who might be interested in this:
When: Tues, Jan. 15, 5-6:30pm
Where: Lehrhaus Judaica, 2736 Bancroft Way (bottom floor of the Berkeley Hillel bldg), across from Boalt School of Law, Berkeley, CA
Cost: FREE, refreshments provided
Feel free to ask if you have any questions.
UPDATE: New York Times article from Monday about Kashua.
