¿Te gustaría aprender a hablar español? 

This introductory Spanish class will cover the basics - the alphabet, greetings, some grammar, adjectives and vocabulary. Language sticks best with games, songs, repetition and movement, so the class will incorporate such activities whenever possible. At least one class will involve making and sharing food from Spain, Central or South America.

Winner of the English PEN Translation Award

In a surreal, but familiar, vision of modern day Egypt, a centralized authority known as ‘the Gate’ has risen to power in the aftermath of the ‘Disgraceful Events,’ a failed popular uprising. Citizens are required to obtain permission from the Gate in order to take care of even the most basic of their daily affairs, yet the Gate never opens, and the queue in front of it grows longer.
