Join us in celebration as the City reads Dave Eggers!
Dave Eggers talks about Zeitoun ($15.95). When Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, Abdulrahman Zeitoun, a prosperous Syrian-American and father of four, chose to stay through the storm to protect his house and contracting business. In the days after the storm, he traveled the flooded streets in a secondhand canoe, passing on supplies and helping those he could. A week later, on September 6, 2005, Zeitoun abruptly disappeared. Eggers’ riveting nonfiction book explores Zeitoun’s roots in Syria, his marriage to an American who converted to Islam, and the surreal atmosphere in post-Katrina New Orleans.
One City One Book: San Francisco Reads is an annual citywide literary event that encourages San Franciscans to read the same book at the same time and then discuss it in book groups and at events throughout the City.
