HEY AUSTIN WRITERS!! DONT MISS THE SYMPOSIUM FOR AFRICAN WRITERS The Ethnic & Third World Literatures specialization at the University of Texas at Austin invites you to a landmark symposium featuring five of the most powerful, popular, and innovative writers in contemporary African literature: Taiye Selasi, Maaza Mengiste, Sofia Samatar, Nnedi Okorafor, and Laila Lalami. Check the website for an updated schedule. To describe these writers as either American or African would be to miss what is most vital about authors whose literary horizons are not bound by birthplace, passport, or skin color. We are excited to welcome them to UT Austin for a two-day symposium featuring readings and discussions of their work, and we hope you will join us!
