Don’t miss this conversation on writing craft that focusses on Writing an Authentic Voice.
Francesca Ekwuyasi, whose debut novel, BUTTER HONEY PIG BREAD, was long listed for the 2020 Giller Prize, hosts the conversation with Ottawa’s own Kagiso Lesego Molope. Her novel, This Book Betrays My Brother won the Ottawa Book Award, and was included as a Kirkus Reviews' Best Books, Globe 100, CBC Books, Top YA Pick and Chicago Public Library's Best of the Best Books and her follow up Such a Lonely, Lovely Road won the Pius Adesanmi Memorial Award for Excellence in African Writing.
Suitable for young writers aged 13+, this event is presented by Republic Of Childhood and OPL’s Ottawa Reads YA/Ottawa Boutique
Molope's prose is exhilarating and she shines in the development of a character that you not only root for, but are desperate to defend.
