Travel writer Zora O'Neill will discuss her memoir, All Strangers Are Kin.
Praise for All Strangers Are Kin:
"Part travelogue, part Bildungsroman, part ethnography, this work is as intricate and nuanced as the Arabic language itself. O'Neill masterfully weaves together vignettes, linguistic musings, and a colorful cast of thousands into an always-thoughtful, often hysterically funny paean to a part of the world about which most Americans remain woefully ignorant." –Suketu Mehta, author of Maximum City: Bombay Lost and Found
“Zora O'Neill is the perfect travel companion: smart, curious, witty and knowledgeable. In time where the news out of the Middle East is too often grim, she finds warmth and humor. By refusing to tread along the same paths that so many news reporters are confined to, and in so doing, she reveals to us rich new possibilities for understanding--all in a deceptively breezy tone.” – Carla Power, author of National Book Award Finalist If the Oceans Were Ink
