From the Window Seat: Travel the World with Aminatta Forna

{ "name":"From the Window Seat: Travel the World with Aminatta Forna", "description":"Be a passenger on one of the most thought-provoking journeys you’ll ever take, with a first-class wandering soul guiding the itinerary. Award-winning novelist Aminatta Forna (The Memory of Love; Happiness) is one of our most important and respected literary voices, holding up a mirror to the nuances, loneliness, and beauty of the human experience. Her new essay collection, The Window Seat, takes us from Sierra Leone to the Shetland Islands, from 1978 Iran to a grocery store in DC, all the while evoking vivid insights about displacement, trauma and memory, love, and how we coexist and encroach on the non-human world. Said The Washington Independent Review of Books, “It may just be the perfect post-pandemic read, and Forna the ideal post-pandemic writer.” Find out why with this far-ranging conversation that’ll leave you feeling anything but lost. The bookstore partner for this session is Marcus Books! Buy the books online at Bookshop.org or purchase them in person at the Festival. More information here.", "startDate":"2022-05-07", "endDate":"2022-05-07", "startTime":"14:00", "endTime":"15:00", "location":"The Marsh Berkeley", "options":[ "Apple", "Google", "iCal", "Microsoft365", "MicrosoftTeams", "Outlook.com", "Yahoo" ], "timeZone":"America/Los_Angeles", "iCalFileName":"Reminder-Event" }
