The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE. One of the most acclaimed journalists at work today—and a noted professor in the Literary Journalism program at UC Irvine—Amy Wilentz was first known over twenty years ago for her writing on Haiti with The Rainy Season. Writing for both The New Yorker and The Nation, among other publications, she has also written about and been based in Jerusalem and her present home state of California. She returns to Seattle—and the subject of Haiti—for her newest book, Farewell, Fred Voodoo: A Letter from Haiti (Simon & Schuster). "In this bracing memoir, Wilentz revisits Haiti, as she describes a complex nation, following the cataclysmic 2010 earthquake ... Readers get a stimulating immersion course in Haiti's culture, history, and political machinations ... Though many pontificate on the country's unrelenting despair, poverty, and corruption, Wilentz remarkable narrative strives to alter these perceptions .. An unsentimental yet heartfelt tribute to a country possessing the power to baffle some, yet beguile others." - Publishers Weekly. $5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m., or in advance via www.strangertickets.com. Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca). Preferred seating for Town Hall members.
