Anita Felicelli & Huda Al-Marashi at Book Soup
Join us to hear two authors, Anita Felicelli and Huda Al-Marashi, present and discuss their work.
Anita Felicelli presents her debut collection, Love Songs for a Lost Continent, which delivers a dazzling array of precisely drawn characters searching for identity in the narrow spaces of their everyday lives. These stories focus on first-and second-generation Tamil Americas—immigrants, daughters and lovers, exploring loss and love, while honoring personal histories and lost continents.
Huda Al Marashi presents the tender, honest and irresistibly compelling, First Comes Marriage, the first Muslim American memoir dedicated to the themes of love and sexuality. Huda and Hadi’s story circles through a series of firsts, in a humanizing tale that lingers in our imagination, while also challenging Muslim taboos and romantic stereotypes.
