Fear eats Ali: book launch with Edwin Nasr.

The bookstore She said hosts a premiere and conversation: the author Edwin Nasr presents his novel "Fear eats Ali" and talks with critic, journalist and historian of science Edna Bonhomme. The novel follows Ali, a gay Catholic who immigrated to Berlin from southern Lebanon almost a decade ago and stands accused of assaulting a police officer at a Palestine solidarity demonstration, now facing possible deportation and preparing to say goodbye to a city in ebullition. It is described as a forthright novel about the time and place of resistance, the debt one carries in its wake, and the helplessness of men in the face of immense historical transformations. A number of solidarity tickets are available, which can be requested by email from the bookstore.
