The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Presented by ELLIOTT BAY BOOK COMPANY in association with the GARDNER CENTER FOR ASIAN ART & IDEAS and SEATTLE ARTS & LECTURES. Here from Karachi is Pakistani poet/journalist Fatima Bhutto with her searing, astonishing book, Songs of Blood and Sword: A Daughter's Memoir (Nation Books). This is a "daughter's memoir" of both a family and a homeland, as Fatima Bhutto's family has been a central, indelible part of Pakistan's sixty-three turbulent years as an independent nation. Her grandfather, uncle, aunt (Benazir), and father Mir Murtaza were variously executed, murdered, and assassinated, as were numerous others who worked with or for them. The clarities and mysteries of these, and more—alliances, betrayals, exiles, homecomings—are told with a brave, bracing narrative voice. $10 tickets are available via www.brownpapertickets.com (1-800-838-3006) or at Elliott Bay Book Company. Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca). We expect this evening to also address in various ways (discussion, relief efforts, financial support) the ongoing devastation in Pakistan owing to floods). At Ms. Bhutto's request, proceeds raised from this evening will go to the work of the medical relief organization, Merlin (www.merlin-usa.org).
