Let's Talk About It
Muslim Journeys Points of View
Thursdays 6:30 pm
with Reza Jalali
This fall’s Let's Talk About IT theme, Muslim Journeys: Points of View, is a continuation of this past summer’s successful Muslim Journeys events and book discussions. The five books in the Points of View series are mix of novels and memoirs that tell personal narratives of diverse Muslims and non-Muslims living in Islamabad, Fez, Tripoli, Marjayoun, and Tehran. The books examine topics such as oppression, corruption, inequality, and women’s rights in the Middle East
 |
October 3: Told through the eyes of a young television journalist working in the flourishing seaport of Karachi, the novel traces one family’s incredible experience of Pakistan from the 1970s to the present. Part mystery, part romance, and part coming-of-age tale, Broken Verses combines a compelling story with a larger meditation on the meaning of poetry, politics, religion, and Pakistan itself. |
 |
October 24: Fatima Mernissi recounts her experiences and observations as a precocious young girl living in the harem, acutely aware of the many sacred frontiers she is forbidden to cross—the barriers between men and women and between Muslims and Christians, the threshold separating one room from another or the interior of the house from the street outside. She learns that all the women around her chafe at the limitations of harem life in one way or another, but she also comes to realize that she can transcend these limitations covertly—through imagination, creativity, learning, and even mischief. |
 |
November 14: Persepolis is at once a story of growing up and a reminder of the personal costs of war and repression, convincingly related by a perceptive girl caught up in the raging currents of history who also has time to listen to Michael Jackson and dream of a better life. |
 |
December 5: From the late New York Times journalist Anthony Shadid comes a chronicle of his quixotic efforts to restore his family’s ancestral home in Lebanon. While House of Stone is a memorable tale of the ups and downs of house renovation, it is also a thoughtful meditation on the profound changes the Middle East has undergone in recent centuries. Shadid uses the history of his Christian family in Lebanon, the rise and decline of the Ottoman Empire, and accounts of life in Lebanon today to illustrate the diversity and difficulties of the region. |
