When:
November 10,2022 – November 10,2022 all-day
Where:
Politics and Prose Bookstore
5015 Connecticut Avenue NW

At once a love letter (with recipes) to fresh roti, chaat, chicken biryani, ghee, pakoras, shorba, parathay and an often hilarious dissection of life in a Muslim immigrant family, Fatty Fatty Boom Boom is also a searingly honest portrait of a woman grappling with a body that gets the job done but that refuses to meet the expectations of others. Chaudry's memoir offers readers a relatable and powerful voice on the controversial topic of body image, one that dispenses with the politics and gets to what every woman who has ever struggled with weight will relate to. Join discussion with Rabia Chaudry, an attorney, advocate, podcaster, and author of the New York Times bestseller Adnan's Story and executive producer of a four-part HBO documentary The Case Against Adnan Syed, and Yasmin Elhady, a comedian & attorney who has toured all over the US & UK. This is a free in-person event, and seating is first come, first served. Thursday, November 10th at 7:00 p.m. For more information, please click here.
