We Are Home: Becoming American in the 21st Century: an Oral History
We are a nation of immigrants, never more than now. In recent decades, the numbers have skyrocketed, thanks to people coming from many continents—especially Asia, Africa, and South America. Just like their predecessors, they face countless obstacles, including political hatred. And yet, just like their predecessors, they work hard. They persist. And they become us. The newest Americans are poorly understood and frequently presented only in stereotypes. Veteran journalist, broadcaster, and interviewer Ray Suarez has criss-crossed the country to speak to new Americans from all corners of the globe, and to record their stories. This portrait of our newest citizens is full of their own, compelling voices. It’s a story as old as the country, yet each new wave of arrivals tells that classic story in new and crucially important ways.

Doors open at 4:00 PM. Conversation starts no later than 4:30 PM. No registration is required. Seating is first come, first served.
Little Jumbo is pleased to join local booksellers Malaprops for CRAFT: Authors in Conversation, a series conceived and hosted by New York Times bestselling author Denise Kiernan.

WHO
Denise, sitting down with authors from all walks—literary fiction, nonfiction, graphic novelists, mystery authors, romance writers, TV and film folks…You get the idea.
WHAT
An hour of conversation about the guest author’s work, writing process and more, with time for audience questions. Conversations are followed by an author signing. Books provided by Malaprop’s.
WHERE

WHEN
The second Sunday of every month. Doors open at 4. Conversation starts no later than 4:30 PM.

𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐎𝐮𝐫𝐬 is a two-man wrecking crew with influences ranging from modern jazz to grunge to instrumental hip hop & experimental music. Hybrid 7-string guitarist/loop freak Eli Kahn creates sonic layer cakes with the aid of his effects arsenal atop drummer Joe Enright's ever-expansive jazz beat backdrops to create a unique sound that is all their own. The duo has built a following with their dynamic live performances & their newest album "Music For Cats" is available to stream everywhere.
Cellist 𝐉𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐨𝐧 is a mix of mastery and maverick musicality; hip-hop influenced, rhythmically layered, melodically robust. Avant garde, folk-soul music, a key to navigate space, time, and change, gracefully, for those who use it. Driven by diversity, drawn to the cello's tone, cosmic strings calling souls home. His newest single, "Roses", was added to the New York Times "7 Songs You Should Know" playlist - he will be opening the show with some ambient/instrumental soundscapes & also sitting in on some tunes with After Ours.
