SUMMARY:An Evening of Films Curated for the Release of Aside From My Heart\, All is Well
DESCRIPTION:This four-film program is dedicated to Luis Alberto Álvarez (1945 – 1996)\, the late Claretian priest and film critic from the city of Medellín\, Colombia. Throughout the 70s and 90s\, Álvarez was a galvanizing force in Colombian cinema; he also served as the inspiration for Aside From My Heart\, All is Well\, a novel written by Héctor Abad\, and published in a new English translation by Archipelago Books. \nTo honor Álvarez’s legacy\, we present a chronological selection of films by his friend and student\, poet and filmmaker Víctor Gaviria. In Álvarez’s eyes\, Gaviria was his country’s first auteur\, whose films both observe and transfigure reality on the margins of society\, showing a Colombia at once familiar and invisible.

SUMMARY:Ellen Elias-Bursać & Jim Hicks at Brookline Booksmith

In the nineteen stories that comprise Inshallah\, Jergovic weaves a collective ethnography that both critiques the imperial domination that has marked the Balkan region for centuries\, and to display\, carefully and tenderly\, the lives of individuals\, Christian and Muslim. \nThis event is part of the Transnational Literature Series\, readings that focus on stories of migration and the intersecting threads of politics and literature. There will be a signing after the reading. RSVP for free here. \n\n

SUMMARY:Yasmeen Hanoosh & Lydia Kiesling at Powell's
DESCRIPTION:Portland friends: join us for a conversation around Elias Khoury’s first novel\, On the Relations of the Circle\, with translator Yasmeen Hanoosh and Lydia Kiesling. This rreading\, discussion\, and signing will take place at the wonderful Powell’s City of Books. 7pm! \n“Despite Elias Khoury’s known wizardry as one of the great contemporary narrators\, his referential bedrock can always be found in the full corpus of Arabic poetry\, texts he knew intimately. Yasmeen Hanoosh’s utterly lucid rendering of his first novel finally squares the circle of Khoury’s magnificent achievement. Deeply enmeshed in his own language and culture\, he embraced the world fully\, with all its pain\, suffering\, and wonder\, while never ceasing to demonstrate that true human dignity emerges from active resistance to all forms of oppression.” — Ammiel Alcalay
