The Bindery hosts Orlando Ortega-Medina for Jerusalem Ablaze: Stories of Love and Other Obsessions, which was shortlisted for the Polari First Book Prize 2017. Join us for an afternoon reading and discussion!
For fans of Hanif Kureishi and Margaret Atwood, this collection of thirteen gripping and intriguing short stories are about sexuality, death, obsession, and religion. Sometimes bleak, occasionally violent, and often possessed of a dark humor, each story contains characters who are flawed individuals trying their best to make sense of their lives.
