The Booksmith invites everyone to the free book talk and signing of “No One Can Pronounce My Name” on Wednesday, May 17th from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm in San Francisco, California.
About the book: “In a suburb outside Cleveland, a community of Indian Americans has settled into lives that straddle the divide between Eastern and Western cultures. For some, America is a bewildering and alienating place where coworkers can’t pronounce your name but will eagerly repeat the Sanskrit phrases from their yoga class. Harit, a lonely Indian immigrant in his mid forties, lives with his mother who can no longer function after the death of Harit’s sister, Swati. In a misguided attempt to keep both himself and his mother sane, Harit has taken to dressing up in a sari every night to pass himself off as his sister.”
Free, RSVP appreciated, but not required.
