Overtaken By Events in print! and events in Chicago, Tampa, San Jose

Dear friends,

My new book Overtaken By Events: A Pakistan Road Trip will finally be in print in early April, which is also when I will (inshallah) return home from two weeks of hard travel, including five days in Haiti. If you haven’t yet ordered your copy of Overtaken By Events, please support my work by ordering it online or mailing a check for US$25 per copy, payable to “Alive and Well in Pakistan,” to P.O. Box 85315, Seattle, WA 98145-1315. Any copies ordered in the next two weeks will be shipped, with a personal thank-you note from me, immediately after I return to Seattle in the first half of April. Get books for your friends and family too, or to donate to schools and libraries.

I’ll be traveling a lot over the next couple of weeks, and wanted to let you know about the events I’ll be speaking at:

• An informational launch meeting for my good friend Fawad Butt’s community banking initiative, Crescent Bancshares Corp., Rosemont, Illinois, Saturday, March 27.

• The Pakistani American Association of Greater Tampa Bay, Pakistan Resolution Day event, Sunday, March 28:

• The annual Chicago fundraiser for Greg Mortenson’s Central Asia Institute, Saturday, April 3. I won’t be able to be at this event in person, unfortunately, but every attendee will be given a complimentary copy of Overtaken By Events, along with Greg’s book Stones Into Schools and other goodies.

• The South Bay Islamic Association and the Pakistani American Culture Center on Friday, April 2 in San Jose, California.

Please come to one of these events if you can make it. I’ll be offline while in Haiti, March 20-26, and only sporadically online before April 5. Many thanks to all of you for your longstanding and ongoing support for my work.

Best regards,

Ethan
