Food and refreshments will be provided. This BookEnds presentation is curated by McGhee Student Kirsty Bonner. To RSVP, or if you have any questions, contact Program Coordinator Michael Collins at mpc3@nyu.edu. About the Author/Professor Sinan Antoon's teaching and research interests lie in premodern Arabo-Islamic culture and contemporary Arab culture and politics. His dissertation, "The Poetics of the Obscene," is the first study of the 10th-century Arab poet Ibn al-Hajjaj. His poems and essays (in Arabic) have appeared in As-Safir, Al-Adab, and Masharef and in the Nation, Middle East Report, Al-Ahram Weekly, Banipa , Journal of Palestine Studies, World Literature Today, and Ploughshares, among others. He has published a collection of poems, The Baghdad Blues. He received his Ph.D. in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures from Harvard University in 2006. I’jaam Book Description An inventory of the General Security headquarters in central Baghdad reveals an obscure manuscript. Written by a young man in detention, the prose moves from prison life, to adolescent memories, to frightening hallucinations, and what emerges is a portrait of life in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq.
