…schedule. All are welcome to join us in the library on Tuesday, June 26 at 7pm.

This is an award-winning book which is reported to be quite thought-provoking. Here’s what one reviewer said about it:

“In spare, crystalline prose, Hamid conveys the experience of living in a city under siege with sharp, stabbing immediacy. He shows just how swiftly ordinary life — with all its banal rituals and routines — can morph into the defensive crouch of life in a war zone. … [and] how insidiously violence alters the calculus of daily life. … By mixing the real and the surreal, and using old fairy-tale magic, Hamid has created a fictional universe that captures the global perils percolating beneath today’s headlines.”

––Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
