Mon 1 Dec. Amitav Ghosh displays a “masterful ability to weave his ordinary characters’ extraordinary fates into a story at once highly compelling, deeply moving, and richly significant,” wrote Claire Messud. He is the author of The Glass Palace, The Hungry Tide, Incendiary Circumstances and Sea of Poppies. The Lazarus Project, Aleksandar Hemon's third work of fiction, is "the fearless and spirited expression of a turbulent literary talent and, at the same time, a cold fierce blast of moral outrage," wrote Patrick McGrath. "One catches glimpses not only of Nabokov and Sebald but of Bulgakov, Pamuk, Amis, Poe." Mr. Hemon's other books are The Question of Bruno and Nowhere Man. Are You 35 or Younger?

Stereotypes and clichés are an integral part of our perception, shaping our image of ourselves and others as well as our sense of belonging to a distinct group or nation apart from others. Through their simplification, these characterizations may help us to overcome our fear of the unknown, but at the same time, serve as a breeding ground for racist ideologies. Twisted Into Recognition is a multimedia exhibition that juxtaposes historical objects, items from material culture, and contemporar. 610 South Michigan Ave., Chicago, 60605.

Tue 2 Dec, 2 pm. Sunday, December 2 at 2 p.m. with author Tosia Szechter Schneider Tosia spent her early childhood in an idyllic Jewish setting in a small town in Poland. The advent of Hitler and World War II destroyed that world and turned her life into unspeakable horror. All her immediate family was murdered and most of her extended family as well. In 1949 she came the U.S., married and raised a family in Atlanta. These memoirs fulfill the pledge she made to her mother in the bitter winter of 1942: to tell the world should she survive. It is also a plea to her children and grandchildren to remember the past and struggle against hatred, prejudice and anti-Semitism. 1440 Spring St. NW, (at 18th & Spring), Atlanta, 30309.
