Blacksburg Books presents An Evening with Nadine Sinno and William Taggart on Wednesday, January 31, 2024.
Nadine Sinno and William Taggart, translators of "I Saw Her in My Dreams", will read selections from the novel, followed by a discussion and Q&A.
"I Saw Her in My Dreams" is a powerful novel about interpersonal and systemic violence, examined through the lens of a relationship between Zahiyya, an anxious middle-class Omani artist, and Faneesh, the Ethiopian domestic worker she hires. Weaving between multiple perspectives and stories within stories, the novel explores honestly, but without sensationalizing or self-Orientalizing, the anti-Blackness that has endured in the Arab world and elsewhere.
Nadine Sinno is an Associate Professor of Arabic at Virginia Tech and William Taggart is an Instructor in the Arabic program at Virginia Tech.
No advance registration is required. Just show up.
Blacksburg Books is located at 401 South Main Street, Suite 106 in Blacksburg, VA.
