Nonfiction Book Club - June

For June's nonfiction book club, we will be discussing "Perfect Victims" by Mohammed El-Kurd, an urgent affirmation of the Palestinian condition of resistance and refusal. It is an ode to the steadfastness of a nation.

Palestine is a microcosm of the world: on fire, stubborn, fragmented, dignified. While a settler colonial state continues to inflict devastating violence, fundamental truths are deliberately obscured―the perpetrators are coddled while the victims are blamed and placed on trial. Why must Palestinians prove their humanity? And what are the implications of such an infuriatingly impossible task? With fearless prose and lyrical precision, Mohammed El-Kurd refuses a life spent in cross-examination. Rather than asking the oppressed to perform a perfect victimhood, El-Kurd asks friends and foes alike to look Palestinians in the eye, forgoing both deference and condemnation. Masterfully combining candid testimony, history, and reportage, Perfect Victims presents a powerfully simple demand: dignity for the Palestinian.

An afternoon with Jess Hilarious—in conversation with Nikki Ticzon about Til Death Do We Parent

Join us for a special private event with Jess Hilarious as she talks all things co-parenting and her new book, Til Death Do We Parent.

📅 Saturday, May 30

⏰ 1pm

📍 Bibliobar, 1018 E 15th St, Plano, TX 75074

The discussion will start right on time so make sure you arrive early!

This is a ticketed event and your ticket includes a copy of the book. Seating is very limited, so RSVP ASAP using this link.

All books will be pre-signed by the author. Can’t attend? Your book will be held for 48 hours after the event before being returned to store inventory. 📚

About the book:

Jess Hilarious, comedy’s whip-smart and unapologetic superstar, continues to push boundaries and offers a hilarious account of the challenges in creating a healthy coparenting relationship and the lessons she’s learned on life's journey.

Before Jess Hilarious ever had dreams of telling jokes in front of sold-out arenas across the country, being featured on Wild-’n-Out, or becoming a cohost on The Breakfast Club, Jess dreamt of marrying her high school sweetheart and raising a family together in their hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. In hopes that having her partner’s child would solidify this outcome, Jess became pregnant at nineteen but begrudgingly learned that the vision she had for her life—as a wife and mother—would have to be reimagined.

After multiple attempts at a relationship between her and her son’s father failed, Jess accepted that, while they would never get married, they were forever linked by the lifetime commitment of raising a child together. With her trademark wit and perspective, Jess shares her experiences with valuable and vulnerable insight for coparents who struggle with what it means to put their children first while protecting them from the ups and downs of adult relationships. ’Til Death Do We Parent is an inspirational journey to coparenting with ease and humor.

About Jess:

Jess Hilarious, born Jessica Robin Moore, is an eleven-year stand-up comic and actress from Baltimore, Maryland. She has appeared on the Fox sitcom RelWild-’n-Out, daytime TV talk shows, All Def Comedy, and more. She currently cohosts the nationally syndicated morning radio show The Breakfast Club, which was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame. She is the creator and host of the podcast Carefully Reckless and the founder of Messy Vision eyewear. Visit JessHilariousOfficial.com for more information.
