At last year’s Move Over AIPAC event, I read from my newly-published book Fast Times in Palestine, a memoir about my transformation from a typical uninformed American to a Ramallah-based journalist and foreign press coordinator for a Palestinian presidential candidate. Tony Karon of TIME Magazine called it “A charming book brimming with tension and tragedy, but also with the humor, warmth, everyday foibles and irrepressible hopes of a people determined to live free.”
This year I will sponsor Occupy AIPAC by donating 20% of all income from the book for the month of March to the organizers at CodePink.
During the conference, on March 3 – 4, I’ll also offer the Kindle version of the book for FREE.
Everyone is encouraged to download a free copy. If you find it to be a useful way to introduce friends and family members to the beauty of Palestine and the almost indescribable injustice of occupation, you’re welcome to suggest or gift it through the rest of March, which will result in a larger donation to Occupy AIPAC. The eBook is currently only $2.99.
I’ll be touring in Austin, TX in April and England in May, inshallah. If you have any contacts in either area who might like to host a Fast Times event, or if you’d like to meet up and/or be kept in the loop of what’s going on in your area, please feel free to be in touch! (pamolson @- gmail)
Thank you so much Pamela. You are an inspiration and exceptional human being.
I have some like minded family in Austin that may be interested. I’ll be sure to contact you if they are
