Fall 2009 Middle East Events
An Evening with the Author of The Red Tent Thursday, November 12 / 8:00 pm / Free "Diamant succeeds admirably in depicting the lives of women in the age that engendered our civilization and our most enduring values." Publishers Weekly Anita Diamant's bestselling first novel The Red Tent, based on the Biblical story of Dinah, conjures "a compelling narrator that has timeless resonance" (Christian Science Monitor). Her latest book, Day After Night, returns to the land of The Red Tent to tell stories of women who survived the Holocaust and await the future in a British internment camp in a story of loss, hope and courage set before the founding of the state of Israel. An award-winning journalist and the author of six nonfiction guides to contemporary Jewish life, Diamant will discuss her recent work. Presented as part of the Herman P. and Sophia Taubman Foundation Endowed Symposia in Jewish Studies at UCSB, a program of the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center, cosponsored by UCSB Arts & Lectures, the Department of Religious Studies, Congregation B’nai B’rith, the Jewish Federation of Greater Santa Barbara, and Santa Barbara Hillel. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
