SUMMARY:STUDENT EVENT: Conversation with author Ayelet Tsabari
DESCRIPTION:Undergrads are invited to meet with Ayelet Tsabari\, author of the award-winning collection of short stories “The Best Place on Earth” and the new memoir “The Art of Leaving.” \nCoffee and pastries provided. Participants will receive a complimentary copy of “The Art of Leaving.” \nRSVP to Student Engagement Director Lauren Kurland for location. \n \n“The Art of Leaving: A Memoir” (2019)\, Tsabari’s new book\, traces the writer’s journey from her childhood home on the outskirts of Tel Aviv to Vancouver and Toronto — and from her native Hebrew to her adopted English — alongside the story of her grandparents’ migration from Yemen to the land of Israel in the 1930s. An astute observer of lives of Mizrahi Jews (Jews of Arab lands) in Israel and beyond\, in “The Art of Leaving” Tsabari delivers a powerful coming-of-age story that reflects on identity and belonging and explores themes of family and home — both inherited and chosen. \nTsabari will also be speaking at the UW on February 28\, 2019. Tickets are free and all undergraduate students are welcome. \nAbout the speaker\n\nAyelet Tsabari was born in Israel to a large family of Yemeni descent. Her first book\, “The Best Place on Earth\,” won the Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature and the Edward Lewis Wallant Award and was longlisted to the Frank O’Connor International Short Story Award. She currently lives and teaches creative writing in Toronto.\n  \n\nTo request disability accommodation\, contact the Disability Services Office at 206-543-6450 (voice)\, 206-543-6452 (TTY)\, 206-685-7264 (fax)\, or dso@uw.edu. The University of Washington makes every effort to honor disability accommodation requests. Requests can be responded to most effectively if received as far in advance of the event as possible\, preferably at least 10 days.
