Rania Matar Launch Event at Brookline Booksmith

Thursday, March 31 at 7PM, Brookline Booksmith presents photographer Rania Matar, who will speak and show images from her new book, L'Enfant-Femme, just out from Damiani. Book signing to follow.

"Dress straps slip off shoulders, painted nails splay on hips. At first glance, the postures struck by the children in Rania Matar’s photographs are grown-up. But look more closely at these girls, who are aged between eight and 13, and the picture becomes more complex. They look variously knowing, sophisticated, elegant, inelegant and uncertain. Some are playing mum. Some are playing A-lister. All have been caught in the process of becoming, as Matar puts it, “a little woman.” - Paula Cocozza, The Guardian
