The Pages
by: Hugo Hamilton

Join us for a reading and discussion with Hugo Hamilton, the internationally acclaimed Irish-German author, and Colm Toibin. Hamilton will read from his new book, The Pages, which dramatically illuminates the connections between past and present as it looks at censorship, oppression, and violence. Interweaving the past and present with characters real and imagined, the novel tells the story of Joseph Roth, an Austrian Jewish author, and the survival of a single copy of his book, Rebellion.
