SUMMARY:Meet author Gabriela Alemán in conversation with translator Dick Cluster
DESCRIPTION:Meet Gabriela Alemán\, celebrated Ecuadorian writer and author of the novel Poso Wells. Among other honors\, she is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and was recognized by Bogotá 39\, a 2007 list of the most important up-and-coming Latin American writers. Poso Wells is her first full-length work published in English. It’s a madcap\, feminist mash-up of noir\, thriller\, Science Fiction and satire\, and has been featured in The Paris Review\, The New Yorker\, and the Los Angeles Times Review of Books\, and was selected as one of the American Booksellers Association’s Independent Booksellers’ 10 Debut Picks of the Season. “One part Thomas Pynchon\, one part Gabriel García Marquez\, and one part Raymond Chandler\, Alemán’s novel contains mystery\, horror\, humor\, absurdity\, and political commentary . . . A concoction of political thriller and absurdist literary mystery that never fails to entertain.” (Kirkus Reviews) \nOakland’s own Dick Cluster is a writer\, editor and translator. He is the translator of Poso Wells and was instrumental in bringing it to an English reading audience. Among other work\, he is the editor and translator of Kill the Ámpaya!: Best Latin American Baseball Fiction\, co-author of The History of\nHavana\, and author of a mystery series featuring a car mechanic turned amateur detective. \nBooks will be available for sale and signing.

An underground Fighter\, a combat soldier and an architect of the Israeli army that won the Six Day War\, he was a militaristic hawk before becoming a peace activist. The man who pushed the Israeli government into the war turned into one of the most implacable enemies of the occupation that resulted from it.” -Uri Avnery\, veteran Israeli peace activist and former member of Knesset \n“This critically important memoir…is a must read.” -Naomi Wolf\, author \nThis new edition contains an Epilogue that takes readers with Peled on his travels around the world to promote his message of personal discovery and peacemaking to South Africa\, East Asia\, Europe\, the West Bank\, Gaza\, and Israel itself. He also reflects further on his continuing inner journey. \nInjustice: The Story of the Holy Land Foundation Five\n“Miko Peled shines a light on one of the most egregious cases of injustice committed to date against Muslim leaders in the United States. ..an ominous and important warning about the degradation of the rule of law and civil liberties that increasingly characterizes the United States” – Chris Hedges\, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist & former Middle East Bureau Chief for The New York Times
