From Ali Eteraz's schooling in a "madrassa" in Pakistan to his teenage years as a Muslim American in the Bible Belt, and back to Pakistan to find a pious Muslim wife, this lyrical, penetrating saga captures the heart of our universal quest for identity. Astonishingly honest, darkly comic, and beautifully told, Children of Dust is an extraordinary adventure that reveals the diversity of Islamic beliefs, the vastness of the Pakistani diaspora, and the very human search for home. Ali Eteraz also writes the award-winning blog, Islamophere. This Medart Lecture Series event is free and open to the public and includes a 6:30pm reception and 7:00pm talk.
