A Discussion with Author Ayelet Gundar-Goshen
Tuesday, April 24, 2018, 7:30 p.m.
Important next-generation Israeli author Ayelet Gundar-Goshen’s gripping novel narrates the aftermath of an Israeli neurosurgeon’s accidental killing of an Eritrean migrant. Newly translated from Hebrew, this tightly crafted story is as timely as it is riveting.

Admission to the book talk is free, but reservations are required. Please arrive early and have photo ID available.
