DESCRIPTION:The paperback release of two fine novels by Bay Area writers i
 s the occasion for this joint reading\, moderated by Sabina Khan-Ibarra.
  In Call Her Freedom\, Tara Dorabji closely follows over several decades 
 the lives of two women\, a mother and her daughter\, in a territory contes
 ted by two major nations\, caught in the crosshairs and maintaining their 
 independence at great cost in a patriarchal society.  Although this is D
 orabji's first novel\, her documentary film work in Kashmir\, "the most de
 nsely militarized place on earth\," deeply informs her fiction and her ins
 ights into the characters and their context\; and her narrative skill and 
 grace are on full display in her fiction.  Betty Shamieh's debut novel\,
  Too Soon\, comes in the midst the writer's successful career as a playwr
 ight with a dozen produced plays\, seven of which have been mounted in New
  York. Her novel vividly questions the cultural norms and historical circu
 mstances faced by three women--a theater director\, her mother\, and her g
 randmother--over lives in the diaspora that brings the grandmother from Ra
 mallah to Detroit in the Nakba of 1948\, her daughter to San Francisco in 
 an arranged marriage and her granddaughter to New York and then Gaza in th
 e current era.
