Queering Myths: Caro De Robertis and Navid Sinaki
Tuesday October 15, 2024 7:30pm - 9:00pm PDT
City Lights Booksellers & Publishers
Acclaimed video artist Navid Sinaki’s debut novel, Medusa of the Roses, is a queer love story set amid the repressive policies of modern-day Iran. Informed by Hollywood noir, Persian folktales, and Greek myth, it’s been called “stunning” by Publishers Weekly. Caro De Robertis’s latest novel, The Palace of Eros, is about another pair of lovers, under threat not from the government but from the gods. Join these two accomplished novelists for a conversation about myth-inflected fiction, the queer love story as a vehicle for interrogating society, the intersections of desire and freedom, and much more. Moderated by novelist Jasmin Darznik. FREE, $10-15 suggested donation
