Title: Arabic Reading Group in New York City
Body: From http://arablit.wordpress.com/2013/08/27/crowdsourcing-translation-decisions-get-involved-in-nyc-cairo-online The London-based publisher And Other Stories (AOS) will be running Arabic-English reading groups this fall: In Cairo, in NYC, and online. Participating readers will peruse three novels — the full novels in Arabic or excerpts in English — and talk through their opinions. Should one (or all?) of them be published in translation? For a reading group this fall, AOS has chosen books from Finnegan’s List, a list of under-recognized works suggested by prominent writers and compiled by the European Society of Authors. In 2012, Syrian author Samar Yazbek suggested three Syrian novels for the list: The Epidemic by Hani al-Rahib, The Shell by Mustafa Khalifa, and Ascension to Death by Mamdouh Azzam. The group is open to those who read in Arabic and those who don’t: Excerpts from the three novels will be translated and posted on the AOS website.

Title: Exhibit at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia: One Day in Pompeii
Body: From http://www.fi.edu/Pompeii Exhibit: One Day in Pompeii November 9, 2013 - April 27, 2014 In the year 79, Pompeii vanished beneath thick layers of volcanic ash left by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. But what nature destroyed, it also preserved. Hundreds of exceptional artifacts offer an insider's glimpse into the daily life—and tragic end—of this Ancient Roman city. From garden frescoes and marble statues to helmets and shin guards of the day's Gladiators, coins and currency to religious altars and shrines—all set in their original surroundings—you will experience Pompeii. Then, as the floors shake and the walls rumble, relive the volcano's catastrophic eruption through an immersive CGI experience, and witness the devastation left in its path.
