The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
As part of a visit highlighted by a Town Hall appearance on the evening before today's event (see listing for Friday, October 15th), Edwidge Danticat will also make this Saturday afternoon appearance at Elliott Bay—for those wanting to continue the conversations started Friday night, as well as those who couldn’t attend (a lot is going on in Seattle that Friday evening). She is visiting Seattle with a book of essays drawn from the Toni Morrison Lectures she gave earlier this year at Princeton, Create Dangerously: The Immigrant Artist at Work (Princeton University Press). This is the newest volume in a remarkable body of work that includes two novels, two books of stories, two young adult books, and two other nonfiction books. Her most recent book, the autobiographical, Brother, I'm Dying, was a National Book Award finalist and received the National Book Critics Circle Award.
Create Dangerously is a beautiful rumination on what role immigrant artists can and do play, and a powerful exploration of her deep connections to her homeland of Haiti, especially with the devastating earthquake which struck earlier this year. At Town Hall or here, this is one of those vital writers not to be missed.
