CANCELED: Rabih Alameddine
- This is a past program
This program has been canceled due to unforeseen circumstances. We apologize for the inconvenience.
National Book Award Finalist Rabih Alameddine’s “beautiful and absorbing” (New York Times) novel An Unnecessary Woman garnered universal acclaim following his best-selling exuberant epic The Hakawati, an Arabian Nights for this century. In his newest novel, The Angel of History, an acerbic and intelligent Yemeni-born poet narrates a tumultuous life story over the course of one night in a psychiatric clinic’s waiting room. He is also the author of Koolaids, I, the Divine, and The Perv. Alameddine divides his time between San Francisco and Beirut.
Coffee and tea served. Book signing to follow.
