- **Event Description**: Enjoy an evening with local author Kenan Orhan in Kansas City!About this EventJoin Rainy Day Books in-store to celebrate The Renovation with author Kenan Orhan.This event includes an author talk, along with an opportunity to get your book signed and personalized.The BookThe RenovationA woman discovers that her bathroom has been remodeled into a Pr*son cell—where she is an unlikely inmate—in this surreal novel of exile, grief, memory, and migration.In Salerno, Italy, Dilara spends her days caring for her aging father and her hypochondriac husband. Since leaving her native Istanbul, she’s been unable to find a job—adrift, she becomes increasingly fixated on domestic improvement, specifically on the renovation of a second bathroom. When the work is completed, she enters and finds herself not in a bathroom but in a Pr*son cell, and a Turkish one at that.As she tries and fails to conceal the unfortunate discovery from her husband, she confronts the Pr*son’s other inhabitants—the buffoonish guards who refuse to believe her conundrum; the other women who begin filling the cells beyond hers—and the strange things that drift through it: the smell of the Bosporus, her mother’s voice, calls to prayer . . .Has she gone mad? Is she the victim of a terrible prank? Is it a portal, a dream, a simulation? As she burrows deeper into her cell, her life beyond it begins to fall apart—her husband disappears, her father’s grip on reality loosens, political dictatorship threatens to destroy everything worth keeping.In his slender, disquieting first novel, Kenan Orhan tells a story of modern migration like no other. The Renovation is a tragic comedy of displacement, a story that remodels its own form to the dazzling inevitable end.The AuthorKenan Orhan’s debut collection, I Am My Country: And Other Stories, was a finalist for the PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize and was long-listed for the Story Prize. His fiction appears in The Atlantic, The Paris Review, The Common, The Massachusetts Review, and elsewhere and has been anthologized in The O. Henry Prize Stories and The Best American Short Stories. The Renovation is his first novel.Please Note: There are no refunds for this event. If you are unable to attend, your book will be available for pickup at the shop the following day. If you are not local, we'll be happy to mail it to you. Thank you for your support!
