Rochester Reads’ 25th anniversary and Omar El Akkad’s book “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This” are the focus of the Nov. 10 edition of Connections with Evan Dawson. The YouTube broadcast is scheduled to begin at 12:04 p.m. Eastern.
Writers & Books selected two titles for this year’s community reading program, including El Akkad’s book about the devastation in Gaza and the plight of Palestinians. El Akkad and Michael Solis, executive director of Writers & Books, join the discussion about the book and how it speaks to the current societal moment.
El Akkad has described the book as a kind of breakup letter with the West. Writers & Books describes the selection as an example of literature bearing witness to people, places and issues often left at the margins.
