You can do so .About the book:From the winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction comes a tragicomic love story set in Lebanon, a modern saga of family, memory, and the unbreakable attachment of a son and his motherIn a tiny Beirut apartment, sixty-three-year-old Raja and his mother live side by side. A beloved high school philosophy teacher and "the neighborhood homosexual," Raja relishes books, meditative walks, order, and solitude. Zalfa, his octogenarian mother, views her son's desire for privacy as a personal affront. She demands to know every detail of Raja's work life and love life, boundaries be damned.When Raja receives an invite to an all-expenses-paid writing residency in America, the timing couldn't be better. It arrives on the heels of a series of personal and national disasters that have left Raja longing for peace and quiet away from his mother and the heartache of Lebanon. But what at first seems a stroke of good fortune soon leads Raja to recount and relive the very disasters and past betrayals he wishes to forget.Told in Raja's irresistible and wickedly funny voice, the novel dances across six decades to tell the unforgettable story of a singular life and its absurdities--a tale of mistakes, self-discovery, trauma, and maybe even forgiveness. Above all, The True True Story of Raja the Gullible (and His Mother) is a wildly unique and sparkling celebration of love. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/pittsburgh/new-and-notable-book-club-ft-the-true-true-story-of-raja-the-gullible/100001983276603710 - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fnew-notable-book-club-ft-the-true-true-story-of-raja-the-gullible-tickets-1983276603710 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Pittsburgh - **state**: PA - **country**: United States - **location**: 8850 Covenant Ave - **lat**: 40.56868 - **long**: -80.02264919999999 - **full address**: 8850 Covenant Ave, 8850 Covenant Avenue, Pittsburgh, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Riverstone Books (https://allevents.in/org/riverstone-books/22505492) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/f22546baa1a3517ecc93a17c6e6bcc4b243a925c8ab494acb41d7da4ffab1118-rimg-w1200-h600-dc253745-gmir.jpg?v=1771924758 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/740e92976241a08b61a70b095e8ad77a9cfb63c9a8587b3c51620fe251c0b10a-rimg-w400-h400-dc253745-gmir.jpg?v=1771924758 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Mon, 23 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** 8850 Covenant Ave, 8850 Covenant Avenue, Pittsburgh, United States - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 USD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Riverstone Books - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about New & Notable Book Club ft.
