Please join us for two readings on the subject of eating in uncomfortable places, or (with a nod to the Talking Heads) Dinner During Wartime:

In the fall of 2003, Annia Ciezadlo spent her honeymoon in Baghdad. She moved to Beirut with her brand-new husband and not much else, and spent the next six years in Beirut and Baghdad, cooking and eating with Shiites and Sunnis, refugees and warlords, matriarchs and mullahs. In her upcoming memoir DAY OF HONEY, Ciezadlo brings a broad historical, political, and cultural perspective to the everyday human struggle to obtain and prepare food during wartime.

Since graduating from Deep Springs College, Nathan Deuel has written and edited for magazines (Rolling Stone, The Atlantic Monthly), newspapers (The Village Voice, The National), and websites (NPR.org, SixBillion.org). In the summer of 2007, he packed a bag and walked from New York to New Orleans, a trek that took five months, three pairs of shoes, and a couple thousand miles. These days, he lives in Saudi Arabia with his wife, Kelly McEvers, who covers the region for National Public Radio. He blogs for True/Slant.

**Please note!  This will be the last True Story event of the season, before we take our summer hiatus!  Come join us for one last evening under the hammer and sickle til autumn!**
