About this Event
We have teamed up with local bookshop Papercuts JP and our amazing sponsors Cervone and Deegan to bring you a series of reading and writing events!
Join us for a talk by two local authors and priests, writing on immigration, belonging and faith.
Timothy Crellin is an Italian-American, Episcopal priest raised in Boston and educated at Harvard Divinity School, as well as author of The Land of the Living, published in February. The historical novel explores the themes of immigration and assimilation, war and its impact on families, the role of race and class in forging identity, and what it means to find home. The story follows Italian immigrants Angela Amorelli and her husband Tommaso through Ellis Island and on to their new life in a New England fishing town. Published by Green Place Books in February this year.
Cristina Rathbone is former award-winning reporter and Episcopal priest whose mother was a Cuban-refugee, and whose book The Asylum Seekers: A Chronicle of Life, Death and Community At The Border was published by Broadleaf Books in March. The narrative account of the US-Mexico border weaves intimate portraits of Mexican asylum seekers in a makeshift camp with broader reflections on the meaning of faith in a place of suffering.
This event is part of our JP Literary Series in collaboration with Papercuts, JP.
