Presented by the WASHINGTON CENTER FOR THE BOOK AT THE SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. Late March and throughout April are a number of events and activities related to the Washington Center for the Book's Seattle Reads citywide reading program for Morocco-born writer Laila Lalami's novel Secret Son (Algonquin), culminating in a number of appearances by Ms. Lalami in May. Some detail on these is in our "Also to Note" section at the end of this text.
