Excited to see this fantastic piece by Ursula Lindsey on Mohamed Choukri in the latest @nybooks.com and featuring @georgetownup.bsky.social book Faces translated by Jonas Elbousty, MPhil, PhD, OPA (paywall, apologies). www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

The Moroccan writer's works are a bracing corrective to the myth of his city as a glamorous, bohemian playground.

We mourn the loss of Director Al Bertrand, who passed away Sunday, April 20, 2025, after a brief and sudden illness. He is deeply missed and remembered for the strong legacy he leaves for the Press as well as his kindness, good humour, and love of books.

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen.

Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it.

Full EO: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
Show Up For Our Libraries! By eliminating the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services, the Trump administration's Executive Order is cutting off at the knees the most beloved and trusted of American institutions and the staff and services they offer.
