Author Talk: Naeem Murr, "Every Exit Brings You Home"

Naeem Murr, will talk about his new novel, "Every Exit Brings You Home," at Village Books in Bellingham on July 1 at 6pm. Set in Chicago during the housing crisis of 2007, it’s about a Gazan immigrant with a traumatic and mysterious past. 

The Boston Globe says, "Naeem Murr's expansive talent animates every page.” In The Washington Post, it’s described as “A Work of Magic.” Harper's Bazaar calls it "Timely and urgent,” and a starred Kirkus review says it is "Beautifully written, timely, and as enjoyable as it is heartbreaking."

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
