# Event Details - **Event Name**: Danny Ramadan, CROOKED TEETH - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 17 Aug, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Mon, 17 Aug, 2026 at 08:00 pm - **Event Description**: Danny Ramadan, queer refugees advocate, visits for his new memoir, Crooked Teeth: A Queer Syrian Refugee MemoirAbout this EventDanny Ramadan, queer refugees advocate and author of The Foghorn Echoes, The Clothesline Swing, and Salma children’s series, visits for his new memoir, Crooked Teeth: A Queer Syrian Refugee Memoir, a singular achievement in which a master storyteller learns that his greatest story is his own.“Writing this memoir is a betrayal.” So begins this electrifying personal account from Danny Ramadan, a celebrated novelist who has long enjoyed the shield his fiction provides. Now, to tell the story of his life, he must revisit dark corners of his past he’d rather forget and unearth memories of a city he can no longer return to.Starting with his family’s humble beginnings in Damascus, he takes readers on an epic, border-crossing journey: to the city’s underground network of queer safe homes; to a clandestine party at a secluded villa in Cairo; through Arab Spring uprisings across the Middle East, a reckless hoax that threatens the safety of Syria’s LGBTQ+ community, and a traumatic six-week imprisonment; to beaches and sunsets with friends in Beirut; to an arrival in Vancouver that’s not as smooth as it promised to be; and ultimately to a life of hard-won comfort and love.What emerges is a powerful refutation of the oversimplified refugee narrative—a book that holds space for joy alongside sorrow, for nuance and complicated ambivalences."An engrossing account of one queer man’s journey through a life filled with danger, yes, but also great joy. A beautiful read that adds nuance to the stories of so many refugees.” —Garrard Conley, author of Boy ErasedDanny Ramadan is a Syrian-Canadian author and LGBTQ+ refugees advocate.
