Darfur Diaries, Stories of Survival with author and filmmaker Jen Marlowe
Jen Marlowe
Friday, March 23rd, 7PM at Orca Books
509 E. 4th Ave, Olympia
My good friend, Jen Marlowe writes...
I am thrilled to be coming to Olympia on March 23 for a book talk
about "Darfur Diaries: Stories of Survival".
I hope you will be able to come to the event at Orca Books.
Refugees and displaced peoples, civilians and fighters resisting the
Sudanese government, teachers, students, parents, children and
community leaders provide the heart of "Darfur Diaries". Their
stories and testimonies, woven together with the personal experiences
of the filmmakers/authors, and conveyed with political and historical
context, provide a much-needed account to understand Darfur.
Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple, wrote about the book and
film "…Do not resist seeing and reading their story, thinking it
another violent assault on the heart. It is rather a gentle if
persistent knock upon the door of every living human soul. Brother,
sister, we are still here, holding this space for you, for humanity,
are you still there? I left the book and the film feeling a great
deal more hope for us all."
Deborah Scroggins, author of Emma's War says that the book "is the
most fresh and engaging account of the Darfur tragedy yet to come out."
Books will be sold and signed—and I am happy to
personalize inscriptions for those purchased as gifts for others.
A percentage of all proceeds from "Darfur Diaries" goes towards our
efforts to fund schools in the destroyed villages we visited in Darfur
—an initiative that has now resulted in the funding of two schools in
northern Darfur, providing an education to over 900 children.
Please forward this email to friends/family
members and colleagues!
I hope to see you at Orca Books!
Warmly,
Jen Marlowe
