THE ODYSSEY BOOKSHOP PRESENTS AN IN PERSON EVENT: Javier Sinay "The Murders of Moises Ville"

Join us live and in person at 7 PM on April 5 as Javier Sinay discusses his new book, "The
Murders of Moisés Ville: The Rise and Fall of the Jerusalem of
South America." He will be in conversation with Ilan Stavans of Restless Books.

Award-winning journalist Javier Sinay investigates a series of murders from the nineteenth century, unearthing the complex history and legacy of Mois's Ville, the "Jerusalem of South America," and his personal connection to a defining period of Jewish history in Argentina.

When Argentine journalist Javier Sinay discovers an article from 1947 by his great-grandfather detailing twenty-two murders that had occurred in Mois's Ville at the end of the nineteenth century, he launches into his own investigation that soon turns into something deeper: an exploration of the history of Mois's Ville, one of the first Jewish agricultural communities in Argentina, and Sinay's own connection to this historically thriving Jewish epicenter.

Javier Sinay is a writer and journalist based in Buenos Aires. His books include "Camino al este, Cuba Stone" (coauthored), and "Sangre joven" , which won the Premio Rodolfo Walsh of the Semana Negra de Gijón, Spain. In 2015 he won the Premio de la Fundación Gabo/former FNPI for his story "Rápido. Furioso. Muerto" (Fast. Furious. Dead) published in Rolling Stone.
"The Murders of Moisés Ville" is his first book in English
