From Crazy Rich Asians to Cherry, our #FridayReads:
.@jafreenmu is re-reading Tahmina Anam (@tahmima)’s novel The Bones of Grace, “a story that draws you in so deeply into the world of its characters, I'm as captivated the second time around as I was when first reading it!”
.@MLRStrategy is reading Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan, “a light beach read that’s been perfect for summer; a love story spanning socioeconomic and class divides that plays out amongst the uber-wealth of Singaporean high society. Will see the movie next!”

In a few minutes, PEN America will be co-hosting a screening of Arnold Kurov’s “The Trial,” a documentary about Oleg Sentsov, together with @MovingImageNYC. The screening will be followed by a discussion with @mashagessen and the producer Max Tuula. Stay tuned for updates!
“People in Eastern Europe really know what this regime is,” producer Max Tuula is about to explain the process of creation of “The Trial.” It is the first screening in the U.S. #FreeSentsov
“He [Sentsov] is the kind of person who would go and do things, like he is doing with his current hunger strike, because he wants to make an impact,” says Max Tuula about Oleg Sentsov, who he knows personally. “This is why the Russian regime chose him as a scapegoat.”
