SUMMARY:Javad Djavahery
DESCRIPTION:The Cultural Services of the Consul General of France in conjunction with Restless Books and City Lights Booksellers present \nJavad Djavahery \nreading from his new novel \nMy Part of Her \ntranslated by Emma Ramadan\, published by Restless Books \nFor our unnamed confessor\, the summer months spent on the Caspian Sea during the 1970s are a magically transformative experience. There\, he is not the “poor relative from the North\,” but a welcome guest at his wealthy cousin Nilou’s home and the gatekeeper of her affections. He revels in the power of orchestrating the attentions of her many admirers\, granting and denying access to her would-be lovers. But in a moment of jealousy and youthful bravado\, he betrays and humiliates an unlikely suitor\, setting into motion a series of events that will have drastic repercussions for all of them as the country is forever transformed by the Iranian Revolution a few short years later.\nOver the next twenty years\, the lingering effects of that betrayal set the friends on radically different paths in the wake of political\, religious\, and cultural upheaval. Their surprising final reunion reveals the consequences of revenge and self-preservation as they each must decide whether and how to forget the past. Urgent and gorgeously written\, My Part of Her captures the innocence of youth\, the folly of love\, and the capriciousness of fate as these friends find themselves on opposing sides of the seismic rifts of history. \nIranian novelist and short story writer\, Javad Djavahery currently resides in Paris after being forced to flee Iran and claim refuge in France at the age of 20. For many years he lived as a political refugee\, waiting to return to his home country. During these years\, he owned nothing more than what could fit in a suitcase. When asked where he’s from\, Javad responds by saying that he was born once in Iran\, and then a second time at the age of 20 in Rennes\, his adoptive city. He have not returned to Iran since his departure\, which allows him “to preserve in my memory images of a country that no longer exists.” Shifting between literature and film\, he has produced many films and co-written numerous screenplays including Red Rose (directed by Sepideh Farsi). A bilingual author\, he has two short story collections in Persian. His first novel Soupir de l’Ange was published by Éditions de l’Aube. His second novel\, Ma part d’elle (My Part of Her) was published in 2017 by Gallimard. \nEmma Ramadan is a literary translator based in Providence\, RI where she is the co-owner of Riffraff\, a bookstore and bar. She is the recipient of an NEA Translation Fellowship\, a PEN/Heim grant\, and a Fulbright scholarship.

SUMMARY:Evan Bloom\, Rachel Levin\,&; George McCalman: Eat Something
DESCRIPTION:Evan Bloom\, co-owner of Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen\, Rachel Levin\, and George McCalman discuss their new cookbook Eat Something: A Wise Sons Cookbook for Jews Who Like Food and Food Lovers Who Like Jews. \nPraise for Eat Something \n“My Russian-born mother always used to ask\, “Is it good for the Jews?” And I have to say that Eat Something not only is good for the Jews but also will make them chuckle and enjoy cooking. This book offers a fresh California perspective and a dash of cultural irreverence.” – Joyce Goldstein\, chef & author \n“This book is an extremely entertaining and haimish guide to Jewish food and the role it plays in our lives.” – Josh Russ Tupper\, 4th generation co-owner of Russ & Daughters \n“This book embodies the spirit of Jewish soul food we all need right now. Equally delicious and inspiring\, it satisfies like a holiday brisket\, with a joy that lasts for days (minus the heartburn).” – David Sax\, author of Save the Deli \nAbout Eat Something \nFrom nationally recognized Jewish brand Wise Sons\, the cookbook Eat Something features over 60 recipes for salads\, soups\, baked goods\, holiday dishes\, and more. \nThis long-awaited cookbook (the first one for Wise Sons!) is packed with homey recipes and relatable humor; it is as much a delicious\, lighthearted\, and nostalgic cookbook as it is a lively celebration of Jewish culture. \nStemming from the thesis that Jews eat by occasion (and with enthusiasm)\, the book is organized into 19 different events and celebrations chronicling a Jewish life in food\, from bris to shivah\, and all the makeshift and meaningful events in between\, including: Shabbat\, Passover\, the high holidays\, first meal home from college\, J-dating\, wedding\, and more. \n• Both a Jewish humor book and a cookbook\n• Recipes are drawn from the menus of their beloved Bay Area restaurants\, as well as all the occasions when Jews gather around the table.\n• Includes short essays\, illustrations\, memorabilia\, and stylish plated food photography. \nWise Sons is a nationally recognized deli and Jewish food brand with a unique Bay Area ethos—inspired by the past but entirely contemporary\, they make traditional Jewish foods California-style with great ingredients. \nRecipes include Braided Challah\, Big Macher Burger\, Wise Sons’ Brisket\, Carrot Tzimmes\, and Morning After Matzoquiles\, while essays include Confessions of a First-Time Seder Host\, So\, You Didn’t Marry a Jew\, and Iconic Chinese Restaurants\, As Chosen by the Chosen People.
