Helen Benedict, “The Good Deed,” 2024 kpfa.org/area941/episod…

My new novel, The Good Deed, owes a huge debt to Samos Volunteers, the first and now only NGO on Samos that helps the refugees trapped there. I'm doing this virtual benefit for them at 11 a.m. EST on Wednesday and giving away my book to all who donate. donorbox.org/events/589192

As someone who experienced a lot of antisemitism as a girl, I never expected to criticize those who use that label to attack anti-war protesters. But I have. This is the 20th repost of my article. Thanks to all of them! sierravoices.com/2024/05/07/the…

The Good Deed, my new novel about refugees, about to launch in New York. April 11, Book Culture, 7 p.m. The brilliant Joan Silber will interview me.

Map of Hope and Sorrow was published a year ago. Since then, the persecution of Black and Brown refugees has only grown more dire, pushing people back at sea, imprisoning them, denying them the chance to apply for asylum. I wrote about this here: salon.com/2022/12/06/une…
