Book Signing and Talk by the author of
Brick Walls: Tales of Courage and Hope from Pakistan
Come hear author Saadia Faruqi as she shares her heartwarming collection of short stories from her book "Brick Walls." These stories are filled with larger-than-life characters and the seemingly impossible challenges they face. You will be captivated by these fictional depictions of everyday Pakistanis who struggle with poverty, violence, corruption and abuse, yet rise from the ashes stronger and more enduring. There is Asma the lackluster seamstress, Faisal the would-be terrorist, Javed Gul the Pushto rock singer, Farzana the cantankerous grandmother, Nida the ten-year-old girl with a cricket obsession, and many more. Together they form a rich mosaic that showcases the beauty of Pakistan, her culture, and her people.
