WITS Reading: Benson High School

This end-of-residency reading will feature students who worked with WITS writers Jessica Mehta and Laura Moulton.

Ben Hodgson & Laura Moulton in Conversation With Omar El Akkad
Online N/A, Portland, OR, United StatesIn 2011, Laura Moulton founded Street Books, a mobile library serving people living outside in Portland, Oregon. That summer, Ben Hodgson became one of her most dedicated regulars, setting the still-unbroken single season record for borrowing. Then Ben's routines changed, and he didn’t cross paths again with Laura for almost two years. Loaners: The Making of a Street Library (Perfect Day) is the story they began to tell when they reconnected, offering a street-level perspective of a community whose stories are seldom told, alternating between their two unforgettable points of view in this addictively readable, occasionally sublime memoir. Hodgson and Moulton will be joined in conversation by Omar El Akkad, author of What Strange Paradise and American War. Register for the Zoom event / Buy the Book
