About this Event
Y.M. Abdel-Magied presents At Sea
In conversation with Hala Alyan
Debut author Y.M. Abdel-Magied presents At Sea, a propulsive novel of ambition, greed, and the deadly fury of Mother Nature, as a female driller takes charge of an isolated offshore oil rig with an entirely male crew. Named a Must-Read Book in 2026 by Dua Lipa's book club Service95—and inspired by Abdel-Magied's first job as a teenager in a coal mine in rural Australia—At Sea is as haunting, original, and poetic as it is gripping; a meditation on science and faith that reckons with ethics, prejudice, and the capitalist endeavors that overlook our humanity. Prize-winning local author Hala Alyan (I'll Tell You When I'm Home) joins Abdel-Magied for a reading and discussion, before an audience Q&A and signing.
