The fictional account of two Lebanese boys who immigrate to New York at the turn of the century is considered to be the first novel by an Arab-American written in English. Its themes still resonate today: ideal relations between Americans and Arabs and the rightful position of Arabs within the great American story of immigration. Rihani—the most influential, prolific and world-renowned Arab-American author of the early 20th century— and his seminal work will be the focus of a symposium to be held at the Library of Congress from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesday, March 29 in Room LJ-119, located on the first floor of the Thomas Jefferson Building, 10 First Street S.E., Washington, D.C. |
