Celebration of Mothers - Motherhood Day Reading w/ author Nitza Agam

Florey's Books invites you to an event with author Nitza Agam, as she reads from her memoir, "Love Letters to My Mother".

***Saturday, May 4th, 1:00-2:30pm***

Join Nitza Agam, writer of the memoir, “Love Letters To My Mother,” in a celebration of our mothers as she reads a few excerpts, and invites you to bring your writing or stories about your mother or an important woman in your life.

The reading and pre Mother’s Day Celebration will take place at Florey’s Book Co. in Pacifica on Saturday, May 4th, from 1:-2:30.
Let’s pay tribute to our stories and memories together of these amazing women as daughters, as mothers, as sisters, as friends, nieces, teachers, mentors.

Some refreshments will be served.

In writing my story, I was inspired by the Book of Ruth, a biblical account that chronicles the greatest heights of love between two women and the challenges they faced in a hostile world. I write about my mother, Naomi, and how we resembled those two women, as my middle name is “Ruth.”

We hope to see you!

Florey's Book Club: 'Friday Black' April 25th

Florey's welcomes you to our book club!

***Thursday, April 25th, 7:00pm-8:30pm***

Come by for a chat about our April book, 'Friday Black' by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah.

About the book:

A piercingly raw debut story collection from a young writer with an explosive voice; a treacherously surreal, and, at times, heartbreakingly satirical look at what it's like to be young and black in America.

From the start of this extraordinary debut, Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah's writing will grab you, haunt you, enrage and invigorate you. By placing ordinary characters in extraordinary situations, Adjei-Brenyah reveals the violence, injustice, and painful absurdities that black men and women contend with every day in this country.

These stories tackle urgent instances of racism and cultural unrest, and explore the many ways we fight for humanity in an unforgiving world. In "The Finkelstein Five," Adjei-Brenyah gives us an unforgettable reckoning of the brutal prejudice of our justice system. In "Zimmer Land," we see a far-too-easy-to-believe imagining of racism as sport. And "Friday Black" and "How to Sell a Jacket as Told by Ice King" show the horrors of consumerism and the toll it takes on us all.

About the author:

Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah is the New York Times-bestselling author of Friday Black. Originally from Spring Valley, New York, he graduated from SUNY Albany and went on to receive his MFA from Syracuse University. His work has appeared or is forthcoming from numerous publications, including the New York Times Book Review, Esquire, Literary Hub, the Paris Review, Guernica, and Longreads. He was selected by Colson Whitehead as one of the National Book Foundation's "5 Under 35" honorees, is the winner of the PEN/Jean Stein Book Award, and a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle's John Leonard Award for Best First Book and the Aspen Words Literary Prize.

---Next month: 'The Handmaid's Tale' by Margaret Atwood ---
