Southeast Sister Cities Reading Tour is thrilled to welcome Sohrab Homi Fracis of Jacksonville when we visit Orlando at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 27th at the Timucua Arts Foundation White House.

Sohrab Homi Fracis is the first Asian American to win the Iowa Short Fiction Award, juried by the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, for his collection Ticket to Minto: Stories of India and America. His novel, Go Home, brought him the South Asian Literary Association’s Distinguished Achievement Award. He received the Florida Individual Artist Fellowship in Literature/Fiction. He was Artist in Residence at Yaddo and Visiting Writer in Residence at Augsburg College.

The SESCRT concept is simple. Our writers read in your town. Then your writers read in our town. Everybody wins!

Jacksonville writers reading in Orlando are: Sohrab Homi Fracis, Tim Gilmore, Laura Hoffman, Matt Lany, Andres Rojas, and Nikesha Elise Williams. Orlando writers hosting and reading are: Shawn Welcome and Tod Caviness.

Doors at 7. Free and open to the public. (Donations for the venue acepted.) Bring a bottle of wine or some bites to share, please.
