Full Circle Bookstore

We will be hosting author Kelly Oliver for a special luncheon edition of Powerful Prose next Thursday, March 8th, from 12-2pm! Make sure you RSVP by Tuesday, March 6th!

Join us tomorrow, January 25th, in the Literature Room at 6:00pm as we invite Dr. Nyla Khan to discuss her new book Sheikh Mohammad Abdulah's Reflections On Kashmir!

About the book:

“This book would comprise a collection of his speeches, interviews, and letters to other political personages in South Asia, plus some other material and commentary. The apparatus I will use is an Introduction (5000) plus prefatory setups/abstracts (1500-2000 words) of each item. I am driven to compile and edit his speeches, interviews, and letters from the late 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s by my unquenchable desire to pursue intensive and thorough research on the political history of Kashmir through the lives of principal political actors, which is a work in progress, and, is by no means, near completion. I am also motivated by a need to challenge distorted descriptions of the sociopolitical conditions and historical context that produced Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah. My attempt is not, however, to interpret history through the subjective lens of contemporary politics. I write about phases of populist and electoral politics in Jammu and Kashmir in a particular context. At this phase in the history of the state, when large parts of the life of Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah have been obliterated, I am intellectually invested in reconstructing my subject. Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah has been venerated and glorified as much as vilified, so I attempt to write about the public life of my subject with clarity, neither idolatrously nor iconoclastically.”

Anne Hillerman to sign & discuss Song of the Lion

Among the most ambitious and challenging projects a writer can undertake are additions to someone else’s long running and widely respected series of mysteries.

When the series has included well-loved characters inhabiting a rich and exotic culture and the author was your father, the challenge would seem to be overwhelming.

Anne Hillerman has met that challenge with a graceful and approachable writing style that respects her father's work while enriching the reader's engagement with his characters and makes them her own.

It is a particular pleasure for the Full Circle to welcome Anne. We liked and respected her father Tony Hillerman, a native Oklahoman, and we are excited to meet her.

Join us in welcoming Anne this Saturday at 3:00 p.m.
