Author Ariel Sabar to join the Chronicle Book Club on June 29
“My Father’s Paradise: A Son’s Search for His Family’s Past"
The Pittsburgh Jewish Chronicle invites you to join the Chronicle Book Club for its June 29 discussion of “My Father’s Paradise: A Son’s Search for His Family’s Past,” by Ariel Sabar. This 2008 National Book Critics Circle Award Winner was described by the Los Angeles Times as “a biography, a memoir, a meticulously reconstructed history of a largely vanished people and place. … Transcending mere reportage, it acquires a novel-like warp and weft.” A compelling read, this book chronicles the author’s journey to understand his father’s Kurdish-Jewish heritage in Iraq, where an ancient Aramaic-speaking community once thrived.
Author Ariel Sabar will join us for part of the meeting!
Your hosts
Toby Tabachnick, Chronicle editor
David Rullo, Chronicle senior staff writer
