نلتقي مع الأستاذ عبدالله الأنصاري مؤلف كتاب انقلاب العربية في مناقشة حوارية مختلفة… ليست مجرد حديث عن اللغة، بل رحلة عميقة في تحوّلاتها! كيف انتقلت العربية عبر أطوارها الأربعة؟ وكيف تغيّر دورها من وعاء للمعنى إلى أداة تعبير تعكس زمننا بكل تعقيداته؟ موعدنا مع حوار حيّ يفتح الأسئلة، ويحرّك التفكير، ويمنحك نظرة جديدة على اللغة التي نستخدمها كل يوم… لكن ربما لم ننتبه كيف تغيّرت. 📍 سايتك – الخبر 📅 الخميس 23 أبريل ⏰ 7:30 مساءً كونوا على الموعد… لأن هذه الأمسية ليست كغيرها، وقد تخرج منها برؤية مختلفة تمامًا.

Welcome, readers! Our April read is **_Martyr!_ by Kaveh Akbar.** The story follows a young Iranian American poet grappling with grief, addiction, and the aching question of what makes a life meaningful. Drawn into an unexpected friendship with a terminally ill artist, he begins to confront faith, love, and the seduction of self-destruction. Lyrical, darkly funny, and emotionally piercing, the novel wrestles with beauty and despair in equal measure. It’s a story about longing—to be seen, to be forgiven, and to matter. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖

Posting this early because seemingly all Sundays in May are holidays or busy! I picked a shorter thriller that's hopefully a fast read/listen. [Columbus library link to book](https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3458940) Location: Grandview Cafe, *1455 W. 3rd Ave*, Columbus, OH 43212 [Menu](https://www.grandviewcafe.com/menu) Book summary: Daniel leads a rich life in the university town of Athens, Georgia. He's got a couple close friends, a steady paycheck working for a regional airline, and of course, for a few glorious days each Fall, college football tailgates. He considers himself to be a mostly lucky guy -- despite the fact that he's suffered from a debilitating disease since he was a small child, one that has left him unable to speak or to move without a wheelchair. Largely confined to his home, Daniel spends the hours he's not online communicating with irate air travelers observing his neighborhood from his front porch. One young woman passes by so frequently that spotting her out the window has almost become part of his daily routine. Until the day he's almost sure he sees her being kidnapped.
