Nuruddin Farah Reading & Signing

"Called 'one of the most sophisticated voices in modern fiction' (The New York Review of Books), Nuruddin Farah is widely recognized as a literary genius. He proves it yet again with "Knots," the story of a woman who returns to her roots and discovers much more than herself. Born in Somalia but raised in North America, Cambara flees a failed marriage by traveling to Mogadishu. And there, amid the devastation and brutality, she finds that her most unlikely ambitions begin to seem possible. Conjuring the unforgettable extremes of a fractured Muslim culture and the wayward Somali state through the eyes of a strong, compelling heroine, "Knots" is another Farah masterwork.

Want my Sewing Machine?
My Singer 8280 quit working last weekend, so I bought a new one. This machine worked very well before Saturday, and I am fairly certain the repair will be simple. You can have my machine -- free! -- if you want to take it to the repair shop. Email wheelerw@augsburg.edu for more info.
