SUMMARY:Kelloggs Writers Series- Afsheen Farhadi
DESCRIPTION:Afsheen Farhadi was born in Phoenix\, Arizona. He is the auth
 or of the novel FALSE PROPHET. His short fiction and essays have appeare
 d in Ploughshares\, The Georgia Review\, Conjunctions\, The Southern Rev
 iew\, Colorado Review\, Catapult\, Bright Lights Film Journal\, and else
 where. He has a PhD in creative writing from the University of Cincinnat
 i\, where he was a Provost Graduate Fellow\, and served as the inaugural
  Hughes Fellow in Creative Writing\, Prose at Southern Methodist Univers
 ity. He is an Assistant Professor of Creative Writing at the University 
 of Nevada\, Reno. The cult drama of The Girls meets Yellowface’s searing
  exploration of lies\, immigration\, and identity in this propulsive lit
 erary thriller debut. A grieving actor-turned-memoirist reimagines his m
 other’s encounter with Jim Jones\, the deadliest cult leader of all time
 —the only problem is\, it’s mostly all lies. . . Actor Jal Persad is enj
 oying moderate success when the death of his mother\, Rita\, sends him i
 nto a tailspin—after all\, how could he grieve a woman he barely knew? R
 ita had grown up in Guyana during the rise and fall of the Jonestown cul
 t\, but never spoke of her home to Jal\, always keeping him at a distanc
 e. After months of avoiding work\, a misunderstanding at lunch with his 
 manager leads Jal into a web of lies. He soon finds himself writing a me
 moir of his mother’s adolescence\, one that places her in direct contact
  with Jim Jones himself. There’s just one issue–Rita never met the man. 
 Suddenly\, the book goes viral\, and Jal must face the looming threat of
  exposure and his own guilt. Alternating between Jal’s rapid rise and Ri
 ta’s distorted story\, False Prophet confronts the intergenerational leg
 acy of colonialism\, the allure of power\, and the age-old question–how 
 much of yourself are you willing to lose in order to succeed? All events
  are free and open to the public! All events are LP credit certified for
  University of Indianapolis students!\n\nMore info: https://news.uindy.e
