From Laila Lalami, the Pu-
litzer Prize finalist and author
of “The Moor’s Account,” here
is a timely, powerful novel
about the suspicious death of
a Moroccan immigrant — at
once a family saga, a murder
mystery and a love story, in-
formed by the treacherous
fault lines of American cul-
ture.
Late one spring night, Driss
Guerraoui, a Moroccan im-
migrant living in California,
is walking across a darkened
intersection when he is killed
by a speeding car.
The repercussions of his
death bring together a di-
verse cast of characters: Guer-
raoui’s daughter Nora, a jazz
composer who returns to the
small town in the Mojave she
thought she’d left for good;
his widow, Maryam, who still
pines after her life in the old
country; Efrain, an undocu-
mented witness whose fear
of deportation prevents him
from coming forward; Jeremy,
an old friend of Nora’s and an
Iraq War veteran; Coleman,
a detective who is slowly dis-
covering her son’s secrets; An-
derson, a neighbor trying to
reconnect with his family; and
the murdered man himself.

The Florence Senior Center
is hosting a lunch fundraiser
for the community on Friday,
Aug. 16, from 11 a.m. to 12:30
p.m. at the Florence Senior
Center, 1570 Kingwood St.
All ages are welcome and
tickets are $5.
There will be soup, ham-
burgers, potato salad, deviled
eggs, watermelon, pie, ice-
cream sundaes and soda or
coffee.
Call 541-997-8844 for reser-
vations in advance.
As the characters — deep-
ly divided by race, religion
and class — tell their stories,
connections among them
emerge, even as Driss’s family
confronts its secrets, a town
faces its hypocrisies and love,
messy, and unpredictable, is
born.
Lane County Cultural
Coalition Grant Workshop
Don’t forget that tomorrow,
Aug. 15, the Lane County
Cultural Coalition (LCCC)
will be offering a free grant
workshop at 10:30 a.m. in the
library’s Bromley Room.
LCCC awards grants in four
categories and are intended to
fund arts, heritage, history,
preservation and humanities
programs. Unlike many grant
programs, applicants to a
LCCC grant are not required
to be a 501(c)(3) organization
but can also be an individual.
The grants are for proj-
ect activities that protect and
stabilize Oregon’s cultural re-
sources; expand public aware-
ness of, access to, and par-
ticipation in quality cultural
experiences in Oregon; ensure
that Oregon cultural resourc-
es are strong and dynamic
contributors to Oregon’s com-
munities and quality of life;
and build an understanding
of the value and impact of cul-
ture to Oregonians.
Tracy Chipman: Storyteller
On Thursday, Aug. 22, at
6 p.m., the library is pleased
to host Wisconsin-based sto-
ryteller Tracy Chipman. This
program is free and open to
the general public.
In her program “Under
A Starry Sky — Tales of the
Moon, the Sun and the Stars,”
the audience will explore the
great beyond through the
ancient art of storytelling.
Together through active lis-
tening and imaging, the at-
tendees will co-create stories
of the cosmos, of the shining
and infinite big beyond.
Chipman describes herself
as “a lover of beginnings, mid-
dles, and ends, a listener, a sto-
ry carrier, folklorist and teller
of tales.”
Her ancestors, pioneers,
Puritans and travelers, carried
stories from the Bavarian for-
ests to the Great Lakes and the
rolling prairies.
Mapleton Branch
The Mapleton library is
located at 88148 Riverview
Avenue, in the Lion’s Club
Building. Hours are Tuesday
through Saturday, noon to 5
p.m.
The library has books,
magazines, DVDs and vid-
eos, recorded books, internet
computers, wireless internet
access and more.

Medicine in the Garden’ class
Join the fun on Sunday,

unique qualities of herbs
and their effects on people,
known as organoleptics.
Enjoy a stroll through
Rose and Crown’s lakeside
garden and learn about

Attendees will collect
herbs and make an “in-
stant tincture” via CO2
extraction. Everyone will

bottle of the one-of-a-kind

on method to experience

cine or an advanced herb-
alist, this interactive class
will help you grow your

power of nature.
