SUMMARY:Evenings with an Author: Amanda Frost in conversation with Lauren Collins [Virtual Public Event; RSVP Required]
DESCRIPTION:CLICK HERE TO RSVP\nJoin the American Library in Paris’s Evenings with an Author series on 27 April as we host Amanda Frost\, author of You Are Not American: Citizenship Stripping from Dred Scott to the Dreamers\, in conversation with New Yorker staff writer Lauren Collins. \nThe American government has historically revoked US citizenship to suppress dissent and shape the nation’s demography. When the Supreme Court rejected the idea of Black citizenship in the case Dred Scott v. Sandford in 1857\, new questions were raised about identity\, belonging\, and exclusion. Law professor Amanda Frost explores narratives of those who have struggled to be included as citizens and full members of “We the People” and exposes citizenship stripping as a fundamental tool of discrimination in America. \n  \nAmanda Frost \nAbout the speakers: Amanda Frost is the Ann Loeb Bronfman Distinguished Professor of Law and Government at the American University Washington College of Law. Professor Frost writes and teaches in the fields of constitutional law\, immigration and citizenship law\, federal courts and jurisdiction\, and judicial ethics. Her scholarship has been cited by over a dozen federal and state courts\, and she has been invited to testify before both the House and Senate Judiciary Committees. Her non-academic writing has been published in the Atlantic\, Slate\, the American Prospect\, the Washington Post\, the New York Times\, and USA Today\, and she authors the “Academic round-up” column for SCOTUSblog. In 2019 she was awarded a fellowship from the American Council of Learned Societies to complete her book\, You Are Not American: Citizenship Stripping from Dred Scott to the Dreamers (Beacon Press)\, which was published in January 2021. \nLauren Collins \nLauren Collins began contributing to the New Yorker in 2003 and became a staff writer in 2008. She is the author of When in French: Love in a Second Language\, which the Times named as one of its 100 Notable Books of 2016.

SUMMARY:Evenings with an Author: Kristin Harmel in conversation with Lauren Elkin [Virtual Public Event; RSVP Required]
DESCRIPTION:CLICK HERE TO RSVP and receive the Zoom login information.\nJoin the American Library in Paris’s Evenings with an Author series as we host New York Times-bestselling author Kristin Harmel. She will share her novel\, The Book of Lost Names\, in conversation with fellow author Lauren Elkin. Programs Manager Alice McCrum will draw on live questions from the audience. \nEva Traube Abrams\, a semi-retired librarian in Florida\, is shelving books one morning when her eyes lock on a photograph in a newspaper nearby. She freezes; it’s an image of a book she hasn’t seen in sixty-five years—a book she recognizes as The Book of Lost Names. The accompanying newspaper article discusses the looting of libraries by the Nazis across Europe during World War II\, which Eva remembers well as a Jewish war refugee from Paris. The book in the photograph\, an eighteenth-century religious text thought to have been taken from France in the waning days of the war\, is one of the most fascinating cases. Now housed in Berlin’s Zentral- und Landesbibliothek library\, it appears to contain some sort of code\, but researchers don’t know where it came from—or what the code means. Eva knows the answer—but will she have the strength to revisit old memories and help reunite those lost during the war? \nAn engaging and evocative novel reminiscent of The Lost Girls of Paris and The Alice Network\, The Book of Lost Names is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of bravery and love in the face of evil. \nAbout the authors: \nKristin Harmel \nKristin Harmel is the New York Times-bestselling author of The Book of Lost Names\, The Winemaker’s Wife\, The Room on Rue Amélie\, The Sweetness of Forgetting and a dozen other novels that have been translated into 28 languages. Her new book\, The Forest of Vanishing Stars\, will be released in July 2021. She is also the cofounder and cohost of the popular web series Friends and Fiction. She lives in Orlando\, Florida. \n  \nLauren Elkin \nLauren Elkin is the author of Flâneuse: Women Walk the City\, a Radio 4 Book of the Week and a finalist for the PEN Diamonstein-Spielvogel award for the Art of the Essay. Her next book\, 91/92: A Diary of a Year on the Bus will be out in September 2021 from Semiotext(e)/Les Fugitives\, as will her translation of Simone de Beauvoir’s lost novel The Inseparables (Vintage Classics). \nCLICK HERE TO RSVP and receive the Zoom login information.
