Alameddine will discuss his latest work, along with Juan Gabriel Vásquez, at the latest installment of Inprint's Margarett Root Brown Reading Series.
Prior to his visit, Houston Public Media's Dacia Clay talked with Alameddine about The Angel of History, which takes place over the course of one night in the waiting room of a psych clinic where the main character, Jacob, is hearing voices.
As a vehicle to illustrate the tension between what we remember and what we forget, the novel uses the deaths of many gay people during the AIDS epidemic and a man's conversations with the voice of Satan he hears in his head.
