SUMMARY:New Works Wednesdays with Gila Green
DESCRIPTION:New Works Wednesdays with Gila Green \nGila Green discusses her new work “White Zion.”  \nWednesday\, 27 January at 12:00PM EST \nThe novel takes readers into the worlds of 19th century Yemen\, pre-State Israel\, modern Israel and modern Canada. You will hear the voices of a young boy marveling at Israel’s first air force on his own roof\, the cry of a newly married woman helpless to defend herself against her new husband’s desires\, the anger of the heroine’s uncle as he reveals startling secrets about his marriage and the fall-out after generations of war. \nGila Green’s novels feature characters of Sephardi\, Yemenite\, and mixed Middle Eastern heritage because she couldn’t find any Jewish stories that reflected her experience growing up and decided to write them herself. Her novel-in-stories White Zion explores one Yemenite family’s journey from Sanaa to Jerusalem to Canada. In Passport Control\, heroine Miriam Gil struggles to understand her Yemenite father’s past against a trove of family secrets. Gila is an author\, a creative writing teacher\, an EFL college lecturer\, an editor\, and a mother of five. When she’s not exploring the Middle East in her novels\, she migrates to South Africa in her continuing environmental young adult series that takes place in Kruger National Park. In addition to her four published novels\, her short works have been featured in dozens of publications including: Sephardic Horizons\, Jewish Fiction\, Jewish Literary Journal\, Fiction Magazine\, Akashic Books\, The Fiddlehead\, and others. \nSponsorship opportunities available:\ninfo@americansephardi.org
