Lisa Wexler explains why Wilton Library's first writer-in-residence, who teaches English at Greenwich Academy, Aisha Abdel Gawad, caused over 3000 angry emails to be sent to Wilton officials after she told University of Albany's book festival organizers she wouldn't do a writers panel when she learned the moderator was a 'Zionist.' The 'Zionist' is Elisa Albert, a 46-year-old progressive feminist acclaimed author.
