On November 10th, with cosponsors PEN New England and The Center for African Studies at Boston University, we officially launch the portfolio in Boston with an afternoon panel discussion on contemporary African fiction (4:00 p.m., at BU’s African Studies Center, 232 Bay State Road, Boston) and an evening reading by select contributors (7:00 p.m., at BU’s Photonics Center Auditorium, 8 St. Mary’s Street, Boston). We invite you—in print, online, and in person—to these fresh and surprising visions of African life and culture.
