Africa Writes: um encontro de literatura africana

Começa amanhã o festival Africa Writes que reúne, até domingo, em Londres, 50 autores, poetas, editores e críticos, uma iniciativa da Royal African Society.

Africa Writes is the Royal African Society’s annual literature festival. Every year we showcase established and emerging talent from the African continent and its diaspora in what is now the UK’s biggest celebration of contemporary African writing taking place over an exciting summer weekend. The festival features book launches, readings, author appearances, panel discussions, youth and children’s workshops, and other activities.

Na programação, destaca-se um encontro entre a escritora  Ama Ata Aidoo (na foto) com a tradutora e crítica Wangi wa Goro, e ainda uma homenagem a Chinua Achebe, falecido em 2013.
