Abend der Malerei

Spanish and Portuguese Open House

The Keys to My House, by Gazan journalist Sami al-Ajrami, recently been published by the Northampton-based Interlink Books, is a diary covering the first six months of war in Gaza. The book beautifully weaves between geopolitical reporting and reflections and a story of the collective struggle to survive waged by his friends and family. Earlier this month, the Massachusetts Review published a brief excerpt on their blog, in anticipation of a campus visit by Anna Lombardi, co-author of the book.

On Tuesday, October 20, join co-author Anna Lombardi and translator Jim Hicks in person, with Sami al-Ajrami joining virtually, for a conversation about this exciting new work.
