Please join us for an
Author Talk with Jordan Salama '19
Co-Sponsored by the PCNWNJ, PANYC, PAAEHs and PAANNJ-ROC Regional Alumni Associations
"Stranger in the Desert: A Family Story" by Jordan Salama
"Combining travelog, history, memoir, and reportage, 'Stranger in the Desert' transports readers from the lonely plains of Patagonia to the breathtaking altiplano of the high Andes; from the old Jewish quarter of Damascus to today’s vibrant neighborhoods of Buenos Aires. It is also a fervent journey of self-discovery as Salama grapples with his own Jewish, Arab, and Latin American identities, interrogating the stories families tell themselves, and to what end." - from the Publisher
Jordan will join us for an Author Talk followed by attendee Q&A and discussion.
You are encouraged to purchase and read the book in advance (a very manageable 240 pages), but it won't be necessary to have read the book to enjoy the talk.
Date and Time
Monday May 6th, 2024
7:30 - 8:30pm via Zoom
