Chinatown

Hannah Lillith Assadi reads from "Paradiso 17," her time-bending novel of Palestinian exile, leathers, cats, and visions of the afterlife. The National Book Foundation honoree weaves a haunting narrative that begins at the end and ends at the beginning, all within the storied walls of a Beat Generation landmark.
