The Church of the Redeemer

5603 North Charles Street
Baltimore, MD 21210

The Ivy Bookshop hosts internationally-acclaimed author Mohsin Hamid in partnership with
The Church of the Redeemer to benefit the International Rescue Committee's Baltimore-area
refugee rescue and resettlement efforts. Hamid's new release, Exit West, tells the timely story of
two young lovers struggling to survive as their country explodes into civil war.

Admission for this event will be $28 per person (or per couple) and includes a copy of the book.
Admission will be paid at the door, but additional copies of Exit West will be available for sale
before and after the event. Hamid will be available to sign books as guests are exiting the event.

The Ivy will donate 100% of the evening's net book sales to the IRC in Baltimore. WYPR is the
media partner for this event.

The IRC in Baltimore is the largest refugee resettlement agency in Maryland, settling over 1,200
new refugees and other humanitarian migrants annually and more than 10,000 total since
opening in 1999.
