Join us for a light dinner and discussion about the book In the Country of Men, by Hisham Matar. "This powerful novel about a 9-year-old boy and his absent father offers an unnerving portrait of life in the Libya of Muammar Qaddafi. “

The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Sami Hermez, Visiting Professor of Contemporary and International Issues, Global Studies Center. The CERIS faculty book discussion is open to all educators and graduate students. There will be a light dinner served at 5:30 PM with book discussion to begin at 6:00 PM.

A review of the book can be found at http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2006/jul/29/featuresreviews.guardianrevi...
