Author Talk: Bushra Rehman on Roses, in the Mouth of a Lion

Join author Bushra Rehman for a discussion of her unforgettable new novel, Roses, in the Mouth of a Lion.  The book is a modern classic about what it means to be Muslim and queer in a Pakistani-American community and was chosen as a Best Book and Editor’s Choice by The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, People Magazine, Good Morning America,  Ms. Magazine and more.  

Rehman is co-editor of Colonize This! Young Women of Color on Today’s Feminism and author of dark comedy, Corona--which was chosen by the NY Public Library as one of its favorite books about NYC.  She also authored a collection of poetry, Marianna’s Beauty Salon, described by Joseph O. Legaspi as “a love poem for Muslim girls, Queens, and immigrants making sense of their foreign home--and surviving.”
