Join us for a book talk with renowned scholar and author Tareq Baconi, discussing his newly-released memoir in conversation with Saree Makdisi.
Location:
Oxy Arts on York (4757 York Boulevard)
Event Date: Nov. 20, 2025
From the renowned Palestinian scholar, a memoir of political and queer awakening, of impossible love amidst generations of displacement, and what it means to return home.
Both a love story and a coming-of-age tale that spans countries and continents, Fire in Every Direction balances humor and loss, nostalgia and hope, as it takes us from the Middle East to London, and from 1948 to the present. Tareq Baconi crafts a deeply intimate, unforgettable portrait of how a political consciousness—desire and resistance—is passed down through generations.
