Story Hour in the Library featuring Zoë Ferraris

Zoë Ferraris

Story Hour in the Library is a monthly prose reading series held in UC Berkeley's Morrison Library. In April the program features author Zoë Ferraris.

Zoë Ferraris moved to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in the aftermath of the first Gulf War. She lived in a conservative Muslim community with her then-husband and his family, a group of Saudi-Palestinians. In 2006, she completed her MFA at Columbia University. Her debut novel, "Finding Nouf" and a follow-up novel, "City of Veils" have been published in over thirty countries. Her third novel, "Kingdom of Strangers", came out in 2012.
