Jericho’s Daughter is Warren Lehrer’s anti-war, feminist reimagining of the biblical tale of Rahab, the Canaanite “harlot” who lived in a mud hut inside the outer brick wall of Jericho. The book is illuminated with original images by acclaimed painter/mixed media artist Sharon Horvath, and is bound in a dos-à dos binding, once used to bind Old and New Testaments together.

Riveted in the Word is an electronic book based on the true story of a historian's hard-fought battle to regain language after a massive stroke. The multimedia book app, written and designed by Lehrer, places the reader inside the mind of a retired professor as she recalls her journey with Broca Aphasia. The custom book app employs kinetic typography and an original soundtrack.

The night features multimedia performance/readings by Lehrer with Palestinian-American actor/author Najla Said (daughter of Edward Said) and actor/author (and Lehrer’s life partner) Judith Sloan, followed by a Q&A and book signing.

This event is sponsored by The Word Literary Festival, Blue Hill Books, WERU, and EarSay.

A portion of all book sales benefit Women Wage Peace and the Middle East Children’s Alliance.
