About this Event
Co-presented with City Lights Booksellers
Join us for an evening with Hannah Lillith Assadi as she discusses her intimate, sweeping new novel with National Book Award & Pulitzer-finalist Ingrid Rojas Contreras
Already hailed as a major new work on the legacy of the 1948 Nakba, Paradiso 17 follows Sufien as he's forced to leave the only home he’s ever known for the dusty, oil-rich desert of Kuwait, a small Italian university town, a gritty New York, and, finally, the wild, vast open skies of the Arizona desert. Loosely inspired by Assadi’s father, the novel traces a life shaped by displacement, love, and loss, offering a lyrical and deeply personal portrait of war, migration, and the fragile resilience that carries us forward.
