As you may recall from an earlier posting, the charity Books for Africa is presenting readings by three authors:

• Nurruddin Farah on October 8
• Uwem Apkan on October 9
• Alexandra Fuller on October 9

Those events are free; details are here.

Books for Africa is also hosting a benefit reception and dinner with Alexandra Fuller at St Paul’s University Club the evening of October 9. Tickets are $100, and the proceeds go to support the organization’s work.

Books for Africa is offering a special deal to M&Q customers. If you buy a book at the store, you qualify for a ticket at the student price of only $25.00. Stop by the store today for more information.–David E
