Jordan joined PANE last year to give a highly engaging talk on Every Day the River Changes.  We are all looking forward to a discussion of this new work.
 
Stranger in the Desert is a beautiful, soulful story ranging across continents and languages, topographies and etymologies, time and space. Through a pastiche of maps, diaries, and archival materials, Jordan Salama attempts to piece together a lost family history, and the result is both delightfully idiosyncratic yet somehow still universal, revealing a great deal about the elusive concepts of identity and home, and what it means to find one's place in the world by following one’s roots.” 
—Jennifer Senior, Pulitzer Prize winner and New York Times bestselling author
